My baby boy is now 5 months. I know some people advise to give him rice & & cereal @ 6 months but for the moms who didn't wait....
What's the best kind to start him off with? I only plan to give it to him at night before bed.
TIA!!
We give it to him before he goes to bed in a warm bottle and we only do it once a night. And then around like maybe 1130/12 he gets a little 2 oz bottle and that tides him over until 430/5
It was a great strategy that worked for my twins! I hope it works for you. They didn't always take a full feed/bottle for the dream feed, so keep that in mind too @zyandi
@zyandi, what worked for me to get a longer stretch was to do "dream feeds". So, I would feed the baby right before they go to bed at 7/7:30, then when I'm ready to go to bed at 10/11, I latch them on or give them a bottle in a sleepy state (dream feed) to "top them off" and that ensured I got a longer stretch and as they got older, they started sleeping through the night. I believe I found the strategy in the baby whisperer book series.
