Question 1

can a baby be allergic to oatmeal even though he just started on it?

Accepted Answer

Sure: But what symptoms are you talking about? Allergies are things such as runny eyes or nose, sneezing, hives etc. If we are talking about stomach upset, more likely an intolerance, which is a different body chemistry.

Question 2

when can i start my baby on stage 1 foods? like oatmeal and pures?

Accepted Answer

: 50 years ago infants were fed solids early &amp; frequently to make up for deficiencies in the evaporated milk formulas moms made at home.Today early feeds are an antiquated practice &amp; do not add to the child's nutrition.Today solids are viewed as a tutorial to transition baby to the table. Starting at 6m as the tongue thrust fades &amp; baby begins to sit is early enough.

I doubt it:  Flaxseed  as far as I know has no effect. Observer be for any changes.

Question 4

is it okay to survive on oatmeal, tuna, and a multivitamin?

Accepted Answer

ABSOLUTELY NOT OK!!!: This would be VERY unhealthy. Tuna contains mercury; it's unsafe to eat more than 1 can of albacore every 9 days or 1 can of chunk light every 3 days or you become toxic with mercury- see http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/tuna.asp
Oatmeal is OK, but doesn't have much protein or essential oils. 
Experts now advise 9 servings of veggies &amp; fruit each day; multivits don't have phytonutrients.
