What are your thoughts about putting cereal in the bottle? My 6 week old can't get enough to eat lately, he constantly wants his bottle and screams till he gets one. I don't want to add much. I was thinking of adding a pinch of cereal to his 3oz bottle. I'm afraid to though, I hear good and bad about doing it. I just can't take another day of constant crying. He's never done this before, even swaddling, cuddling, and music isn't helping. He's not a fan of his binky and will use it once in a while.

Do what you think is best. My son was on cereal in his bottle at that age and he's doing fine. It's all in how you do it. We used a tablespoon of cereal per 3 ounces
My son still gets rice bottles Every now and again I started at 3 months with him and he was on reflux meds as well. I say it up to u try and it and just keep an on his bowel moments to make sure he isn't getting constipated
He's on reflux medication. I don't want to put a ton, just a tiny pinch in his 3 oz bottle. Just enough to fill his belly and help him sleep. He's up every half hour.
we use it for a thickener per hospital/doctor because my son aspirates & has gerd but thats all his doc recommends it for, id talk to a doctor 1st
I have to formula feed, I wasn't producing anymore. And I've upped it but its not helping, his pediatrition said not to feed him more then 4oz..
my son is 2 months. i gave him rice cereal and he's doing fine. its makes him much fuller.
it worked for us, but I only used a little at night, and she was formula fed if that helps you. and her doctor said it was fine since she was a little young to take it from a spoon.,
up his feeding first. hes probably going through a grow spout so he needs the extra milk.
I've never been a fan of cereal in a bottle, but for some mom's it's worked....
The AAP recommends nothing but formula or breastmilk until 6 months old. It can also be a choking hazard in bottles. It's a controversial topic because some moms swear by it but personally I would say if baby is asking for more milk feed more milk, not a filler like cereal. Are you breastfeeding or bottle feeding?
you should ask his doctor first because he could get constipated since he's still too young
the rice cereal will bind the baby up and more then likely make em gassy if ur going to try cereal try the oatmeal cereal my mom says that works best and she has several children and babysits quite a few also
