Your Top Five Food Questions Answered
If I feed my baby solids, will he sleep through the night?
Many parents introduce cereal or other solid foods earlier than the recommended six months because they’ve heard it will help their babies sleep. “But there’s no scientific evidence that if you feed a child solids, they will start to sleep better,” says Dr. Friedman.
The current recommendation for starting solids is around six months of age. Starting any earlier could be harmful to your baby as he may have a hard time swallowing the food and his body might not be able to break it down yet.
