I was in Walgreens getting formula & the lady that unlocked the case for me went on talking about how her son is 7 months & she put cereal in her baby's bottle as soon as he came home from the hospital??? Isn't that bad? How early can you give rice/cereal? She said she did it so she could sleep 😒
Yeah 😳 to each their own I guess. I didn't give my daughter until 4 months and my pediatrician gave us the ok , she was constant hungry and spat up frequently, and the cereal helped over time
Baby tummies can't even digest that at such a young age. I didn't know any better with my firstborn and did the same thing after 4 weeks and that girl was screaming due to colic and what not! Never again!
@annabellemaesmommy, my pediatrician told me to give my baby cereal at 2 weeks to thicken my breast milk due to acid reflux. My mom gave all of us cereal as babies way before 6 months. To each their own..
@mommakate1, @holalatina i plan to wait til shes 6 months, i just thought that was crazy her giving her newborn cereal
my mom did it with all three of her kids too, but I chose to wait on solids until she showed all the signs of readiness
