Mine had oatmeal cereal for acid reflux at 6 weeks. Then I started mixing milk and oatmeal and teaching her to eat out of a spoon around 8 weeks. I've done it with all 3 of mine to help the reflux and help them gain weight. The youngest could keep the bottle and cereal down at all but could out of a spoon.

I tried it a few times, but it never helped, so we waited to try it as a solid around 6 months.

@_akgirl, the arsenic was found in it a few years back, but it's not normally found in it.

My doctor recommended it for my daughter for spit up , and constipation

it's not recommended to anymore. and not needed. they have a high level of iron and arsenic.
