QOD: Should I start solid food early so my baby will sleep through the night?
There is no evidence supporting longer or better sleep with the addition of cereal to baby’s bottle or as a daytime feeding.
There is evidence of increased risk of food allergy development when solid food is introduced before 4 months, as well as an increased risk of obesity later in life.
