Do not give rice cereal unless your doctor gives you the okay. 4-6 months depending on babies cues is when to give them cereal and rice cereal isn't good so I'd give oatmeal cereal instead

@porschedavis25 rice she can have but ONLY if she's not ever getting full. Rice cereal is a filler and is usually only given to babies if they can't get full. My son eats rice cereal and has been on it since 4 weeks old because he was NEVER full and i wasn't about to give my 1 month old baby 6 or 8 oz of formula.

@tiredmom so sad

@babynessa thanks

6 months. My daughter's pedi said start with half an oz a day.

@tiredmom yeah I believe it. Babies, especially newborns dont even need much to fill them. It's normal for baby's to be hungry every few hours. But some don't understand that.

@mommabear17 my SD can't even tell if she's full or not because she was given rice cereal in her bottle since the day she came home from the hospital.

@porschedavis25 yeah I'd ask them if they new that could have killed those kids they raised.

@mommabear17 my thoughts exactly

Yeah things are definitely different now days. Lol. I definitely wouldn't do cereal in her bottle. You will stretch out her stomach.

She is only on day 6 of her life likeee. Calm down

@tiffanyf I thought so. Grandparents are trying to convince me to give her water and rice in her milk. And I'm like 😒😒😒😫😫😫 nooo she can't have that yet. Then they say: you know how many kids I done raised? Ugh geesh @mommabear17

They get enough hydration from breast milk/formula

No water til at least 6 months. Even then they don't really need water.. A few sips here and there.

6 months or older
