when is the earliest you guys gave your LOs rice cereal. is it best to spoon feed or in with the bottle? my MIL said she…

I know with bottle feeding it can clog certain nipples.

@jadestarlight, well I have dr. Brown and they slowly drip by themselves.

You give it to your LO at 4 months and best to spoon feed cuz putting it can probably clog up the hole while eating and if they choke when it's in the bottle then they could inhale it and go into the babies lungs

@mjsmama, oh okay

My mom put cereal in my bottle at 2 weeks, lol. Helped me sleep the entire night.

@theinkedbarbie, okay thanks he'll be two months next weekend and I think I'm going to try it on him at night.

That's what my mom did. @laurapurcell She didn't put much, but just enough. Her thing was "when the doctor is getting up 50 times a night with a crying baby, then he can tell me when to give my kid cereal" 😂

@theinkedbarbie, lmao that's too funny. yeah I think it's supposed to be only like a tablespoon.

you should ask his doctor. cereal and solids shouldn't be given until 4 months. and only earlier if there is a medical reason. baby doesn't need cereal that young.

We started giving my son rice cereal at 6 months. We mixed it in a bowl with his formula and he took to it nicely. Sometimes we'd put a little in his bottles for bedtime. Helped him sleep better

Yes It can.

@natzilla yes you should start at 6 months. good job! 👍

@madelynnb @theinkedbarbie @mjsmama 6 months is what is recommended

well 4-6months. yes. they are trying to transition to 6 months lol
