Should I Start Cereal at 2 1/2 Months?
QUESTION
Dear Nutritionist,
My question is my daughter is 2½ months old. She is only eating breast milk (no formula). Well, people are trying to get me to feed my baby rice cereal but I read that if you start a baby on cereal to early it can cause allergies later on in life. Should I wait until she is 4 months or start her now. She weighs 13 pounds 3 ounces.Baby Food - Organic or Not

Modern American marketing genius has caused most parents to think that there is some special magic in the little glass jars of baby food sold at the market. It is so ingrained it seems obvious: dogs eat dog food and babies eat baby food.
The truth is that prepackaged baby foods are expensive, nutritionally inferior, and only slightly more convenient than the do-it-your-self kind.
