My 3 month old is such a hungry boy, has anyone had their 3 month old on rusks mixed with milk at this age?

This is an outdated practice and a choking risk, hungry babies are advised to just have more milk until 6 months now x

He's growing, I promise all he needs at this age is milk.
Most babies aren't ready to start any kind of solid food until around 6 months - signs of readiness are good head control and being able to sit in a high chair properly (not necessarily sitting unsupported on the floor) and losing the tongue reflex. Interest in food and being "hungry" aren't signs that they actually need food. Occasionally paediatrician will recommend early weaning (usually not before at least 4 months) to help with reflux but I'd never do this unless advised. Giving food before their gut is mature enough can cause lots of problems for the rest of their lives (looks at us all now with IBS!)
Hang in there! Weaning is an exciting stage once they get there đ

Definitely not. Far too dangerous as itâs a choking hazard. If baby is hungry up their formula intake or put them on comfort milk which is thicker than normal milk.

No, this is dangerous for several reasons. Definitely just increase milk feeds if hungry at this age.

Milk milk milk :)))
