my baby will be 2mo on the 10th when can I give her rice cereal?

We started cereal at 4,months. It all just depends on when the baby is ready. My son at 4 months was sitting by himself pretty well and was opening his mouth for bites. Those are two good signs they're ready for cereal. As for cereal in the bottle it doesn't actually help and can be a choking hazard.

4-6 months

I had to start putting it into my son's breast milk (pumped into a bottle) at 3 months due to acid reflux. It helped keep everything down. I actually started feeding it to him with a spoon in a bowl at 5 months. He does great with it!

4 to 6 months

I started at 4 months with pediatrician approval

I started at 4 months, I asked the Dr if it was ok

@carparker00 @pregomego @mrsmccormick she is eating way more formula than before and still seems hungry after 4-5oz

4 months usually at the earliest unless your doctor approves it. Also, try to use oatmeal cereal instead of rice. A lot of doctors and Nutrition specialist are advising mommy's to use it over rice because rice is not very good for babies.

@courtney017, then you should try 6 ounces. She's probably going through a growth spurt, if she's not even 2 months old she's not ready for cereal.

@isabellesmomma212 okay! I just feel like she's eating about every hour and my aunt is a nurse and she said it seems like she is ready. her daughter was ready at 3 months

@carparker00 she has had that much before. she's the right weight and everything. I will just ask her doctor then

If she is still hungry after 4-5oz of formula give her more formula. It's not that hard.

@pregomego I have and there is no need to be rude.

Ask your doctor, my daughter wasn't 2 months yet and she recommended rice cereal in her bottle, she's 2 months old now and she's fine

@alexzandriar That's why I was gonna ask her doctor. I hate girls on here who think they know everything lol

lol yea, my daughter eats 5 oz and would still act hungry so we did that, it helps stretch it out an hr or so, she try's to eat 5'oz every 3 hrs but most of them time is 4-5 hr

@alexzandriar my daughter is eating about 4-5 almost every hour

When it comes to situations like this it's best to just ask the doctor. Bc all these girls will do is tell you based on how they parent their own kids. When you feel the need to add cereal then do so. You're the mama. 😉 Just start out with a little bit. Don't go based off of others. You know your baby better than any of us ever will. ☺️

@rapunzel_304 Right! that one chick was just uncalled for. I will ask at her 2 month. And when I mean give her cereal I mean give it to her in her bottle I'm not gonna spoon feed at 2 months lol

I gave my son a sprinkle of rice cereal on his bottle at 5 weeks. I started off giving him one bottle of it to see how he would react

I just had to put rice in my daughters Bc I saw that similac has a formula with rice for babies with acid reflux and I know for a fact that's what mine has. I have done it twice so far and her spit ups have gone down tremendously. I know it's gona help with the cost of formula Bc with her spitting up so much she stayed hungry. So rice is my heaven sent! Lol I hope things are better for you @courtney017 🤗
