Can i give my 5 month old baby pureed raw foods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I would question why so soon.In previous years when homemade formula from cow milk was routine, early feeding was necessary to improve nutrition. Now we understand breast or formula alone is fine & allows baby to develop motor skills that improve their transition to solids.I like to start @ 6m & making your own is a great way to avoid some of the additives & preservatives in commercial products.

Hi doctor. My baby is just over 4 months old. She is not drinking much of breast milk nor formula milk nowadays. However, she seems interested in food we eat. We have started to give her puree food as well like once a day, and she seems to enjoy?
