its funny same thing happened to me and i found out my mom had been secretly putting it in my sons formula when she babysat. i got so pissed. its your child, dont let anyone tell you what to do.

it's your child, you do what you want to do!

Cereal is being phased out as unnecessary but a lot of pediatricians. My son isn't quite there yet but I'm skipping cereal and going straight to fruit and veggies when the time comes. I've heard horror stories about babies having horrible constipation, no thank you!
