Adding cereal to your baby's formula , did it help them sleep longer at night ?

My pediatrician told me to try it with my son 13 years ago. Lol he was a big baby and ate constantly. It wasn't done to help him sleep longer necessarily but because I was exhausted breastfeeding him every hour. And I only did a tiny bit in his bottle. That was back in the day tho when things that aren't ok now were ok then. Lol

Pediatrician says don’t give them any baby cereal or food til 6months , just more milk !!! That’s what’s making babies be obese

Nope

Yes made my son more full

Nope

@ashleydunn @theinkedmommy Amen to this! Absolutely agreed!

I mean I did.. but I think it’s really up to the mom to decide what’s best for her baby 🤷🏼‍♀️

@tiffanyf, exactly 😂

@_blessedx_, you were a chunky one 😩😂

My mom used to do it with me all the time at night to make me sleep longer but it’s also not good because it’s puts a lot of weight on the baby.

@denisse.m, he slept through the entire night ?? Lol

@theinkedmommy, yea I just read that online actually! I guess everybody has different experiences lol

@kiaraherbert24, how long was she out for ? Lol

@denisse.m, yea my friends mom did it and said it worked ! And she started at 3 months

@tiffanyf, Haha my mom told me Lainey’s entire infanthood to do it and I kept telling her piss off. 😂 They usually do cereal in bottles for babies with severe acid reflux.

@theinkedmommy, @ashleydunn, somebody suggested it and told me it worked 😂🙄 thank you ladies 🙃

Adding cereal to their bottle will not make them sleep longer. It can constipate them though and make for one fussy baby. Baby will sleep longer when they are ready 😜

It’s empty calories, so it won’t really help. It’s also a choking hazard.
