At what age can you start putting cereal in your new born's milk Devyn is 2 weeks today & doctors want him to gain more…

My mother in law and I were just talking about this, cuz I asked the same thing... My daughter is two months and my mother in law told me that we can start feeding her cereal within the next couple weeks. My mother in law is making homemade applesauce for my daughter for thanksgiving too

WHO and AAP recommend nothing but formula or breastmilk until 6 months of age.

Solids usually aren't introduce until 6 months old. Until its breastmilk or formula.

Not until at least 4 months, but preferably 6mo. 2wks is way too young, their bodies and digestive systems can't handle that.

Thank you ladies! What can i do to help him gain weight?

I started putting cereal in my sons milk at 6 weeks. He was having trouble keeping the milk down because of reflux. Not sure if that's how he's gained so much weight but he's 11 weeks and almost weighs 13 pounds. He was 6 when he was born. The cereal has helped keep the milk down instead of coming up through his nose and mouth which was so scary.

@princevince, im so scared to do anything that would harm him so early :/ but he was 6lbs when he was born & now hes only 6lbs 4oz

Well I was advised by my pediatrician I would ask them and see what they would want you to do.
