is t required start your baby off giving them rice cereal? what happens if you don't?

My son has acid reflux and putting oatmeal in his bottles helps him a lot! He is 3 months and has never once choked on it! You just have to make sure it's the right consistency😊

okay thanks ladies @mommybump2016 @kmally @jessicatollette14 @mirandag

Babies can't really digest grains until closer to 9 months so I skipped it completely. Also, make sure you give it on a spoon if you choose to, putting it in a bottle is a choking hazard and has killed babies. :(

I started the oatmeal at about 2 2.5 months. its fills them up longer and he sleeps through the night. just put a tablespoon in his bottle. his ped said it was perfectly fine.

We skipped it. It's best to wait until 6 months to offer anything besides breastmilk or formula. We did babyled weaning :)

nothing will happen if you don't, thats just to get the baby ready for baby food since you should give them rice cereal on a spoon. my son didn't take it till he was around 6 months
