A member asked:

Can i give rice cereal to my 3.5 months old baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes,but: It does not improve babies nutrition, sleep or any other issue your friends may be promoting.Waiting until the kid can sit helps avoid problems &allows them to better participate in the process & begins the transition to eating at a table, not in your arms.
