Can I Give My Baby Rusks At 4 Months

I was actually feeding my daughter rusks from the age of 6 weeks because she was so greedy now shes 6 months old and i give her 3 jars a day and 3 bottles im in the process of trying to get her to take a beaker so i can stop giving her a bottle.

Can i give my baby rusks at 4 months.

No you need to wait until 6 months as baby s can have very sharp strong jaws and if she takes a bite out of it she could choke on it. Posted 10 years ago. Babies 4 6 months the aap recommends that an infant not be started on solid foods until after 6 months of age. I don t actually think he ate it though just made a huge mess but i bring them to the store with me and give him one.

My son has been teething since 9 weeks so much dam dribble. Every now and then just try to break the top off yourself if he s trying to turn the rusk into a spear with his little teeth haha. Bottles until 6 months then slowly introduce food mushed up banana and other squishy stuff he can smash into his mouth. Many pediatricians still start babies on solids around 4 months of age.

I also give my boy a rusk to keep him busy if i m sending an email or if i need to leave him in the lounge while i pee haha. Although not a baby she is teething at the moment with her canines coming through these baby risks make a fabulous teething biscuit and are therefore on the menu again. I started at 4 months. Just be careful because they beaver their rusk into a shape where the top can be broken off.

Try welada teething powder or those teething toys rings you can buy that have liquid in them freezing them or putting them in the fridge can help alot. I weaned my daughter early and to be honest i personally don t think it does any harm seen as the rules on parenting change every few years. I gave my baby one when he was 4 months old a rusk and he was fine with it. My youngest baby is now no longer a baby so this may well be one of the last times i make these baby rusks.

However i would not give the child mashed up banana just yet as this is very hard to digest instead try baby rusk dissolve in the baby s formula milk and heat a little so its slightly warm.
