Not sure why everyone (family and friends) keep suggesting we feed our baby rice cereal and oatmeal... can someone fill me in?
I put it in my son's bottle to keep him full since he was eating every hour and a half at one point. Some say it seems selfish but in all honesty I don't think so. Everyone is different when it comes to parenting.
@isabellasmom, I'd rather lose sleep then fill my child up with something that has no nutritional value, pediatricians actually recommend rice Cereal sometimes. 😷 I get up every 4 hours to pump and feed, it takes about 15 minutes, so I don't complain either lol
@sabreycastro1996, I'm with ya! I pump and would end up getting up to do that anyways.
@isabellasmom, I agree, it does sound selfish. 😫 I'm glad I breastfeed lol
Ya don't worry about it she is fine my son was a peanut and still is but totally healthy
@sabreycastro1996, oh geesh! I guess I'm lucky that she only gets up once in the middle of the night. I just can't see doing that just so I can get more sleep! Seems a little selfish.
and apparently it's supposed to keep your baby full, some parents put it in there bottles at night to get there baby to sleep through the night.
@edomke, thanks! I kept wondering what the big deal was. My baby girl is doing really well, she's a little petite but growing, happy, and healthy :-) ppl need to get off the rice cereal train lol
@irishtwinmomma, totally agree everyone is different, every hour is insane! I just wish my family and friends wouldn't push it on me. My little one eats every 4 hrs like clock work.
