A member asked:

Is it ok to give my month old rice at night in her bottle to help her sleep all night?

Specializes in Pediatrics

No: Rice in the bottle is for your convienence and not for the babys health. A 1 month old infant needs to be on 6-8 milk feedings a day.Early introduction of cereal makes your child more prone for food allergies and eczema.
