OK so I read this article today about babies may need more then breast milk. The article said there had been a study done by the British Medical Journal showing that babies may need to be started on solids (baby food) as earlier as 4 months instead of 6 months.
I do not know where these people come from but I know for the most part people in the U.S. already have their babies on baby cereal and baby food anywhere from 2-4 months. In fact my oldest son who was a very large baby at birth was hungry all the time from the time he was born. My breast milk was not enough to satisfy him so the pediatrician had me add formula to his feedings along with my breast milk and that still did not satisfy him so by the time he was 3 weeks old he was on baby cereal and then he graduated to baby food by the time he was 2 months old. And for the past 22 years he has been a very healthy child/man.
Their study also stated that by introducing baby food at 4 months may be important to them and benefit them later in life of being more acceptable of green leafy vegetables and other foods which may potentially influence a more healthier outcome and reduce obesity.
Well “No Shit Sherlock”, my youngest son who I also but on baby cereal and baby food early (no he was not as big or unsatisfied with milk as my oldest son) just because it worked so well for my oldest son, loves any kind of food. Since his toddler years he has always loved salads, green peas, green beans, and all foods. He will eat almost anything you put in front of him and he has been that way for his entire 20 years of existence. Oh and by the way he is 20 years old and is as skinny as a lamp post…..no obesity there!!
My 20 yr old son!!
So yeah in my opinion their study it right, but gees come on scientist get with the times. Most people have been doing this for years!!
~Till next time….Peace~
