There's negativity because basically a baby's stomach can't properly process solids until 6 months, but a lot of people like our parents would put it on our bottles at very young ages to help with reflux and make us sleep. but now that we are all older and they've been able to study the long term effects it had on our generation they now know it's very bad to put cereal in bottles especially before 6 months.

I felt like I had deflated boobs and he wasn't giving them time to fill back up!

He definitely went through a growth spurt about 5-6 days ago when he turned 6 weeks on the dot and he finally has gotten back to normal within the past 2-3 days! Thank goodness because having him nurse 24/7 was HARD

@aleighasmommy1113, ohhhhh dear we are doing good to get a poop a day now! Once he turned a month old his pooping habits slowed down a ton! Like I said now I get one poo a day!

it's good at the stage when you state giving solids. baby might be going through a growth spurt if he's acting hungry 24/7.. cluster feeding is rough lol

Ohhh @gypsy.soul2 definitely organic only! 😊

@gypsy.soul2 strictly boob right now but I'm just trying to figure out why some people say no to rice cereal in general. Not judging anyone or there opinion but I turned out fine 😂

I tried it with my daughter, and it made it extremely hard for her to poop.

it's over processed with stuff a babies stomach can't even begin to break down. a newborns stomach size is only a bit 1.5oz big, anything to expand it makes it uncomfortable for them and it harms the Virgin gut baby has. It's a myth that it helps baby sleep, there are no viable studies to prove such and if cereal and rice were the only option then I'd say do strictly organic and wheat.. there's literally barely any nutritional value compared to breast milk as well.. breast milk changes for babies needs vs cereal and rice don't. @randee

I'm not trying to gain more sleep, I'm trying to make sure he gets full. Sometimes after he feeds he just acts like he wants more. I've read good things and bad things about it. I bought a box of organic too just in case. I plan to be strictly boob juice until 4-5 months whenever he is sitting on his own is the goal and then I plan to start him on homemade organic baby purée food! :)

supposedly babies can't digest it that young. it's better to spoon feed it around 4 months

well I read on it more that's it's not good so early and shouldn't be used as a method for sleep but over all I'm not judging it . I'm going to buy the organic cereal for my son when he is 6 months .
