My mom keeps pushing me to give my baby cereal in a bottle so she can sleep longer during the night. A) My baby is…

@missj_stephens, thanks I'm trying its all a learning experience and same to you. youre doing a great job as well. let's take the advice we like from our moms and politely smile and ignore the advice we don't lol

yup u hit the nail right on the gead explaining the pumping thing. dnt matter if they sleep 8 hours we still gotta get up to pump. u are doing great as a mommy dnt let anyone tell u any different

@missj_stephens, exactly! I keep having to remind my mom that this is my baby! like just because u did it one way, doesn't mean I have to don't the same. my baby sleeping through the night or not isn't really a big deal anyway because she's breastfed so either way I still have to get up to pump if she does sleep through the night. I tried explaining this to her, but she didn't get it lol

babies that early in age are not meant to digest rice and cereal. id rsthrr feed him every 2-3 hours. some parents are lazy as hell and dnt want the responsibility of waking up that often to feed their little one

omg so true my mom doung the same thing so annoying its like back off!!! hes only 4 weeks old im not giving him rice or cereal

it doesn't make Bradley sleep longer. I wish it did though lol

whatever makes you comfortable and work for you.. I wouldn't let anyone else feed them that besides my mom💜💜@helpedbytmh,

neither one would take the nipple, I'm gonna try with this one... my mom gave both of the cereal less than 1 month.. and I never had a problem with them...they gained weight which the drs or wic never really questioned.. my daughter would drink abt 4-5 is and my son 6-7

@mopace, were your last 2 breastfed? if so how old were they wen u gave them cereal and how did u do it?

@schevanya, exactly. if she sleeps thru the night now I'd be so nervous and think something was wrong lol

@juliagail09, lool @ nooo I'm good

definitely old school and it worked for my last 2.. it's not gonna hurt the baby just an ounce to every 4 don't lay the baby down to eat. happy baby happy mommy.. and no I wouldn't tell the Dr..

I think that's too early yet, and every newborn wakes up many times at night that's what babies are about lol eating, pooping, peeing. ..

girl my mom always tell me to do it too. shes like i did it when you and your siblings were babies as soon as we got home from the hospital. im like nooo im good.

@eskawho, I think 3 months is a good time to introduce cereal and I completely agree, 3 weeks is too young. For now I will deal with waking up in the middle of the night to feed her

I think that is to young personally but if you do run it by the baby's pediatrician first...now that my daughter is almost 3 months I'm thinking of doing it but might wait until herbs month check up.
