How do moms feel about giving babies small amounts of rice cereal before 5/6 months? My son is going to be 3 months and is already at 8 oz bottles every 3 hours. I've been putting a small amount of cereal in his bottle before bed time (so only once a day) because he's literally starving all the time. He's never choked, has complete head control since 5 weeks, etc.
I just can’t win tonight! Was going to make Eliana a bottle and dropped the cereal bent down to pick it up forgetting I had an open bottle with formula in it and the bottle spilled all in my carpet 🤦🏻 ♀ And before anyone adds any smart comments... yes I put cereal in my almost 4 month olds bottles! No it’s not to make her “sleep longer” but to help with her reflux! If you don’t like it just keep scrolling 🤷🏻 ♀
I have a question mommies Is it too early to put a lil rice cereal in a 2 month old bottle??
when did everyone start putting rice cereal in their babys bottle? Drew just turned 3 months yesterday!
Is cereal really that bad for your baby? I'm seriously thinking about putting some in her bottle & she's 2 months.
Baby is 2 months. Time to get that cereal bottle going

My little one is going to be 3 months tomorrow and weighs 13lbs. He was 7lbs 10oz when he was born, and 7lbs 3oz by the time we left the hospital. Hes been gaining, but I started giving him cereal at 2mo because he was losing from being sick and the reflux was making him spit up so much it was bothering me.

@bjqc_, my doc used to tease that he didn't want to know how much he weighed. He weighed 4# 10oz when born. At 4 mo he was 20#. My baby boy has been very healthy. Has not once had an ear infection. He will be 2 in march

Thank you everyone! Makes me feel better :) I guess it's true when they say moms know best. My babe is a chunk, completely healthy, but he sure can eat! He's gonna be 3 months and is 16 pounds, 4 ounces 🙊🙊 @wyatts_mommy_0106 @mommabird @danad269 @mommyofone

@mommabird, I've read a lot of people do it to get them to sleep through the night. I don't mind waking up with him... He's a baby, he's hungry.. I'm his mommy. His needs outweigh mine :) he typically sleeps through the night since around 7 weeks old... before I started the cereal, I just started it... Because he wants more at that last feed, and 8 oz is already a lot... But I will definitely take a look at that :)

I started rice bottles at 3 months he had acid reflux and it helped I gave it to him once a day. which was at night and it also kept him fuller longer he was eating 6oz every two hours

Google 'virgin gut' if you haven't for some great info on why you would wait, then weigh the pros and cons. Idk your reasons for wanting to do it. They may outweigh reasons to wait.

@bjqc_, I also gave my son a little bit of cereal in his bottle bout that age. I just started my daughter cuz she wakes up wants an ounce to go back to sleep

My son has been on a rice cereal bottle for a month now, he's going to be 3 months on Sunday. It helps with his reflux, and it helps his belly stay full while he sleeps. I started him out with a tsp to a 3oz cereal bottle. He loves it.
