Feeding babies: Certainly your baby is of the age where introducing pureed fruits/veggies and cereal are the norm. You can add rice cereal to her daily feeds. You can pump your breast milk to use to mix the cereal for her. The recommendation is to add ONE new thing about every 72 hrs. Continue to breast feed but start offering other foods as well.
