it's hard, definitely, but ita good. my son usually sleeps in the playpen now because my room is too hot. but in my room he sleeps in his crib. if he wakes up in a HR I put him in bed with me. because with my son that means it's gonna be a longgg night. but you can get rice cereal at any grocery store. and I thi k family dollar has it too for a dollar. I'm not sure though. I get beach nut I believe is the brand. just be sure not to get oatmeal. I'm also a first time mom, but I've also been around kids all my life and my ex girlfriend had 2 kids I practically raised. now I'm just kinda a step mom from afar. sadly. but between the 3 of the kids I've learned a few tricks!

I'm a first time mom but where can you get rice cereal at? I started her off sleeping in her bassinet then her daddy keep putting her in the bed with us which got her spoiled. I just started back putting her to slp in her bassinet last night she doing okay so far so I'm just keep putting her in there till she get back use to it @benjismom

I started my son at 2 months because he was eating too much too often. my family always starts early. at a month start with a baby spoon full of rice cereal in it. it won't hurt and doesn't thicken it. just fills them more. my mom did it with me, and my whole family does it. we are all fine. 😊if she's good with it go up to two baby spoon fulls. at 3 months I started using the formula scoop and for a 8 ounce I put 3 scoops formula and 1 scoop cereal. I hope this helps! also IDK of you Co sleep. I do but am starting to get him to sleep on his own more. but if he wakes up more one night I just let him sleep with me for that night. but as a single mom it's easier for me to do that. I don't have to worry about another person or not having mommy time lol.

I will try getting into a routine with her and hopefully it works out@benjismom

to make him sleep lo get at a younger age I tried to keep things the same each day. naps. and feeding. and such else. but it got him use to being up and certain times were his time and some were me time. I still do it and it works.

I heard rice cereal makes them full. I plan on trying it with my baby when she get a lil bit older. She only a month now @benjismom

3-4 months. I put rice cereal in his bottle and around 6-7 he has dinner (baby food) and I keep him up till 9ish so between the dinner and rice cereal in his bottle, he sleeps sometimes better because he's full through the night.

OK thank u@mommy2liamandnoah

hope it works for you! don't stress it! she will get into a routine before you know it! @babykamya2016

OK my mama said the same thing to try to keep her up as much as possible during the day. Right now I had just feed her and put her in her bassinet for a Lil nap. I'm awake her up in a min and try keeping her up the rest of the day @mommy2liamandnoah

I put cereal in both my son's bottles and they both started sleeping thru the night before 6 weeks of age. my oldest is 15 months and he sleeps thru the night goes to bed at about 930 or 10 and wakes up at 9ish. my youngest will be 4 months on the 8th and he sleeps thru the night wakes up at about 6 am or so for another bottle and diaper change and he goes back to sleep till about 9 or 10. with my second I started keeping him awake longer at night whatever you can do to keep them awake. and soon enough they will sleep longer stretches. keep them up longer thru out the day also.

Dats how my 1 month old is she only wakes up to eat which I know is normal its just ugh a process@mommy_faith

My son is almost 5 months and wakes up about 2 or 3 times to nurse.

I'm have to try what u did and set up a routine. I just started putting her back in her bassinet last night her daddy kept putting her in the bed with us and she started getting spoiled smh. So I had to fix it before it was too late but she didn't do to bad last night besides waking up to e34466 at@

6 weeks with both. I transitioned them to their own rooms and put a little cereal in their bottle right before bed. I had the routine of bath with nightime lavender soothing and same with lotion fed them and laid them down no rocking or anything and they slept through the night. Hoping if I follow the same with my twins they will do just as good!!

I wish mine would have she a month now @mommy2liamandnoah

mine started sleeping thru the night a little before 6 weeks!
