Too many babies start eating solid foods too soon, CDC study says
Four out of 10 mothers surveyed
began feeding their infants solid food when they were only 4 months old and
their still-developing bodies weren’t able to process it -- and more than half
the moms said they had been advised to do so by a medical professional.
Those are the findings of a survey released Monday by the journal Pediatrics. Considering that the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology all recommend that parents wait to introduce solid food until their babies are about 6 months old, the results suggest that many parents -- along with the doctors and nurses they rely on -- are woefully out of step with the latest medical advice.
Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent questionnaires to thousands of pregnant women and invited them to take part in the Infant Feeding Practices Study II. Then they checked in with them when their babies were 2, 3 and 4 months old. The responses included in the Pediatrics study were from 1,334 mothers.

Overall, 539 of those mothers -- or 40.4% -- said they started feeding
their babies solid food before they turned 4 months old. Those foods included
yogurt, tofu, infant cereal, fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, eggs, fish,
chicken, meat and even French fries.

Banyak bayi
yang dengan cepat makan makanan padat , CDC Studi menjelaskan
empat dari 10 Ibu yang diteliti mengatakan bahwa
bayi mulai makan makanan padat ketika berusia 4 bulan dan mereka sedang dalam
proses perkembangan tubuh yang tidak memungkinkan untuk memprosesnya dan lebih
dari setengah dari ibu tersebut berkata bahwa mereka telah disarankan untuk
melakukannya oleh medis professional.
Mereka adalah temuan dari survei yang dirilis Senin
oleh jurnal Pediatrics. Menimbang bahwa American
Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians dan American
College of Obstetri dan Ginekologi semua merekomendasikan bahwa orang
tua menunggu untuk memperkenalkan makanan padat sampai bayi mereka berusia
sekitar 6 bulan, hasil menunjukkan bahwa banyak orang tua - bersama dengan para
dokter dan perawat mereka bergantung pada - yang menyedihkan keluar dari
langkah dengan saran medis terbaru.
Para peneliti dari Pusat Pengendalian dan Pencegahan
Penyakit mengirim kuesioner kepada ribuan ibu hamil dan mengundang mereka untuk
mengambil bagian dalam bayi Studi Praktek Feeding II. Kemudian mereka memeriksa
dengan mereka ketika bayi mereka berusia 2, 3 dan 4 bulan. Tanggapan termasuk
dalam studi Pediatrics berasal dari 1.334 ibu.
