breastfeeding and protein for lo
breastfeeding and protein for lo
So we went to our 6 month appt today. And she asked if i started giving her anything for protein. (I cant remember what its called) she said if i didnt want to do that i could start giving her the cereal, 4 tbsp a day. Now is this there anything else i could do without having to give that much cereal since it is just a filler and doesn't do anything else for her?

They have organic oatmeal that is the same concept I used with my son

Food before 1 is just for fun. If you want to offer up food to learn new textures and start learning how to eat that's great, but if you just do primarily breastmilk/formula that's more than fine. Don't feel pressured to add in a bunch of foods just because your LO is 6 months.

Usually the typical concern is with iron (cereal are iron fortified) but most bf babies are just fine without added iron. Or you could get an iron supplement of anemia is an issue. Just add foods when you feel LO is ready. You can also explore baby led weaning and skip purées all together.
