Mom: Hi can one mix breast milk with cereal for the baby? 7/16/15 17:39
Automated message: Usually breastfeeding lasts 15–20 minutes or longer. But, there is no set time. Remember, watch your baby (not the clock) to know when s/he is full. 7/16/15 18:00
PC: Most babies can start solids around 6 mos. Any sooner can be risky. Best first foods are all natural and iron rich … 7/16/15 18:39
PC: … which means processed cereal with artificial iron is a poor choice. You can always mix your milk with baby's table foods. Good way to prevent constipation. 7/16/15 17:40
PC: Does that answer your question? 7/16/15 17:40
Mom: Yes, thank you 7/16/15 17:41
