TEXTO:

    A study in JAMA Pediatrics says that giving solids
earlier than six months had benefits for mum and
baby.The study surveyed 1,303 three-month-olds, and
divided them into two groups.One group was solely
[5] breastfed for six months; the other group was given
solid foods in addition to breast milk from the age of
three months.Parents then filled in online questionnaires
every month until their baby was 12 months old, and
then every three months until they were three years
[10] old.
    Although the findings were significant, the
differences between the solids group and the control
group were not huge.Babies on earlier solids slept for
up to 16 minutes longer per night, potentially giving
[15] parents about two extra hours of sleep per
week.Co-author of the study Dr Michael Perkin says
small differences generated large benefits for parents.
“Given that infant sleep directly affects parental quality
of life, even a small improvement can have important
[20] benefits.”More significantly, the group of babies on early
solids reported half the rate of the type of sleep
problems, such as crying and irritability, which make it
less likely that parents are going to get back to sleep.
    The NHS and World Health Organization currently
[25] advise to wait until around six months before introducing
solid foods, but these guidelines are currently under
review.
