A member asked:
Is feeding my 5 1/2 month old baby food with cereal before bed to heavy for her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No , but: It is not likely to make her sleep longer if that is why you are doing it. Solids are today used to transition a baby to table foods. They are not a sleep aid, regardless of what some say.
