Solid Food Too Soon Is Risky for Babies

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Solid Food Too Soon Is Risky for Babies By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs Hooded seal mothers make 22 liters of breast milk a day, and their thirsty pups are weaned in just four days as they grow from 55 to 110 pounds. A black bear mom feeds her cubs for two years, but she sleeps through the first three months of breastfeeding. These cases make human breastfeeding seem pretty middle-of-the-road. It's recommended mothers do it exclusively for six months, then add solid food while continuing to breastfeed for 12 months or longer. Special: [Actress Shares Her Secret: ‘Eating This Every Morning Has Changed My Life’]( Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 47% of babies are exclusively breastfeeding at 3 months, and about 25% are exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months. That's risky for a child's health. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered that when babies are given solid foods at or before 3 months of age it changes the mix of bacteria in their gut biome. That throws off metabolic and immune functions and increases the child's risk of obesity, eczema, asthma, and allergies to specific foods, pollen, and more. If possible, mothers should breastfeed exclusively for six months, or supplement with formula — only introducing solid food after that. Don't use work as an excuse. Most employers have to provide a safe, clean area for you to pump breastmilk, which can be placed in an insulated cooler with ice packs for up to 24 hours. It can be refrigerated at home for four days. Not going to use it in four days? Freeze it in 2- to 4-ounce single-serve containers. After thawing, don't microwave or refreeze. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- [How To: Feel Younger, Leaner, and Energized While Sitting At Home]( The world may be closed for business right now, but according to world-renowned health expert, Dr. Steven Gundry, sitting at home can have major advantages. "Millions of Americans struggle with fatigue, bloating, cloudy thinking, low moods, and excess weight in their midsection — especially as they get older," he says. "But in reality, these aren't signs of aging — and contrary to popular belief, they aren't the result of an unhealthy lifestyle either." So while most parts of the country are encouraging people to shelter in place, Dr. Gundry has an important message for the general public. Not only is feeling tired, bloated, foggy, and overweight not caused by poor choices or lack of discipline — but these problems can actually all be corrected while you're lazing around at home. The reason for this unexpected twist? According to Dr. Gundry, [digestive issues, lethargy, and weight gain are all linked to a single culprit]( — which has nothing to do with how old you are, how healthy you try to eat, or how often you work out. (That's why so many of us don't see any results even when we regularly diet and exercise.) So after years of searching for a solution, Dr. Gundry eventually discovered that the most effective way to address these problems is by following a [simple sequence of steps]( at home. "You do it once a day, it takes you about 60 seconds in total, and that's it — but even though it's a ridiculously easy process, the results can be very dramatic," he says. "Typically, people's energy starts to skyrocket in a matter of days… then their waistlines start to shrink, their vital signs improve, and their body starts to eliminate waste more efficiently, so they experience this invigorating sense of lightness as well." In fact, these improvements have even been reported among adults in their late 70s and 80s — who never thought their bodies could feel that healthy and vital again. Which is why the former heart surgeon (who currently works as a private physician and researcher) is now urging everyone who struggles with unsightly abdominal fat, low energy, frequent "brain fog," daily aches and stiffness, or recurring digestive issues to follow this same protocol at home.

"So since we're all spending a lot more time indoors right now anyway, there's really no better time to get started."
