Question

My baby was born at 37 weeks and 4 days and is just over 6 months old. I have tried baby rice and pureed jars but my baby cries after an hour or so.

Answer

I'm sorry that your baby seems a little unsettled. There could be many reasons for this but they may be still hungry. When you are feeding your little one, look out for signs that they have had enough such as turning their head away or crying when you offer food. If your baby still seems hungry for more, offer a little more food and you may find that this keeps them going for longer. Make sure you are also offering at least 500ml milk a day, as well as 3 meals.

If your baby still seems unsettled, it may be worth checking with your healthcare professional. Good luck and do let us know how you get on.
