  • I have never heard of this pablum before. Just what is it? And have you spoken to your pediatrician? **EDIT** I found this on Wikipedia: Pablum From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pablum was developed by Canadian paediatricians Frederick Tisdall, Theodore Drake, and Alan Brown,[1] in collaboration with nutrition laboratory technician Ruth Herbert (all of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto), along with Mead Johnson chemist Harry H. Engel.[2] The cereal marked a breakthrough in nutritional science: it helped prevent rickets, a crippling childhood disease, by ensuring that children had sufficient vitamin D in their diet. Although neither Pablum nor its biscuit predecessor [3] were the first food designed and sold specifically for babies, it was the first baby food to come precooked and thoroughly dried. The ease of preparation made Pablum successful in an era when infant malnutrition was still a major problem in industrialized countries. Pablum Mixed Cereal was made from a mixture of ground and precooked wheat (farina), oatmeal, yellow corn meal, bone meal, dried brewer's yeast, and powdered alfalfa leaf, fortified with reduced iron — providing an assortment of minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E.[4][5] Pablum is palatable and easily digested without causing side effects like diarrhea or constipation. It is also unlikely to cause allergic reactions,[citation needed] as it does not contain eggs, lactose or nuts of any kind (although it may contain wheat and corn, either of which can be allergenic for some individuals). For a period of 25 years, the Hospital for Sick Children and the Toronto Pediatric Foundation received a royalty on every package of Pablum sold. In 2005, the Pablum brand was acquired by the H. J. Heinz Company.
  • I wouldn't bother. The current reccomendation is not to start solids before 6 months. Spoon feeding at this age is likely to be unsucsesful due to the natural desire to spit anything out (helps them prevent choking and surprise surprise...solids before they are ready). And putting pablum into a bottle is very dangerous and high risk. Feed your daughter on demand when she is hungry and she will be just fine.
