I kinda need some advice for a first time mommy(me)- My son went in for his 4 month checkup today and his doctor told me to begin trying to feed him 1 tblspoon of rice cereal in the mornings so he can get used to solids. The thing that is bothering me though is that she told me to use water when mixing it and the instructions on the box tells me to either use my breastmilk or a breastmilk substitute when mixing it. My gut instinct is to use my breastmilk to mix it instead of tap water just because of how good it is for him; but I'm still conflicted on what to do. Should I or should I not use my breastmilk? Any advice is appricated.
I definitely used my breast milk... and she liked it better that way as well.
