Hi all,
I'm a little confused. I've read over a lot of old threads about when and what to feed our new person (almost 5 months) in his first year, and there's been heaps of great info. One point raised quite alot was that cereal wasn't as good as fruit as a first food.
My question is, how will Baxter get iron (since I've read that stores decrease from 6 months) if he's not eating fortified cereals? Will we have to give him supplements? I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Baxter is breastfed, but are there different requirements for a formula fed baby?
Sorry if this has been covered. Just point me to the right place!
Cheers!
