Family practice: I would say yes. But check with your baby's doctor. Usually between 3-4 months it's recommended.

Why ???: The formula is blended to give the properly balanced nutrition to baby & doesn't need additives.If the doc suggests thickening the formula for treating spit up, you can add formula powder. Cereals should be offered off a spoon as part of training to eat table foods.
