The nurse should respond by informing the parents that it is very early to start feeding the baby cereal to the infant.
Most infants are ready for cereals only when they are six months old. Till that time the nurse should advise the parents to continue only giving breast milk or formula feeding. There are cases when the infant develops faster than others. In this case, the symptoms to be seen whether the infant is ready are as follows:
Can the infant hold his head upright and steadily?
Can the infant sit down without any support?
Is the infant mouthing his toys?
Is the infant looking and leaning forward to take food in her mouth?
If these symptoms or any of these symptoms are present this shows that the child is ready for solid foods. So start with a single-grain cereal like rice. Mix 1 tablespoon of this with 4 tablespoons of breast milk or formula. This should not be fed by the bottle but with a spoon. After starting a new food for four to five days nothing new should be given to see whether the infant is adapting to the cereal.
