Feeding babies: You did not mention the age of your baby. The baby's doctor will have a recommended schedule for you. We now know that adding food too soon sets the child up for health problems such as a weaker immune system and childhood obesity.

That is a theory: That many weary parents during growth spurts wish could be helpful to get them to sleep longer. The risk you run, is developing a food allergy. Many people try to offer thickened formula or breast milk a little too soon than what is generally recommended. Ask your pediatrician what their experience has been with that. If definitely depends on the age of the baby.
