Has anyone ever done this ? P.s not mine

Safety isn't a parenting choice. It's an obligation. If you decide to put your child at risk, it's not a choice its willful child endangerment.

Just because you cant see it in the replies unless you know to open them:

Solids are anything beyond breastmilk or formula. This includes: cereals, juices, purée, etc.

Not only is 6 months an important milestone, but there are also other factors that should ALL be met before introducing: sitting unsupported, loss of tongue thrust, pincher grasp are huge. These ensure your baby isn’t at risk for, amongst other things, choking. Baby being interested is very low on that list. Babies are curious, babies mimic- this does not mean they are ready to eat.

Feeding solids too soon puts your child at risk for long term gut damage, obesity, diabetes, poor eating habits, chrons, IBS, celiacs, food allergies and more.

Also- remember, just because your baby has the ability to eat foods, they do not have the digestive enzymes to break down and process the nutrients. They will just eliminate them as waste and not get what they need. They need breastmilk and/or formula until 1 because of this.

“Well I fed mine at x age and they are fine”: you don’t know this unfortunately. These things aren’t seen until late teens and early adulthood. Will some kids be fine? Yes. Is it worth the risk? No. Once you know, it’s too late.

“My Pedi said so”: most pediatricians are not up to date on infant nutrition. The WHO and AAP say 6 months, if your pedi goes against that question WHY they’d go against the recommendation and research of their peers.

“My baby is hungry”: be sure you’re pace feeding. It should take 5 mins per ounce when done properly. This is because you don’t want to stretch their bellies and it also takes time for their hormones to trigger a “full” feeling. Then— feed baby more formula or breastmilk.

“My baby is advanced”: sure. We all think that. However, they can’t turn 6 months early. And for preemie mamas- this means 6 months adjusted.

“My baby has reflux”: cereal for reflux is an outdated treatment. It should be used as a last resort after all other options have been exhausted and all testing has been completed. And for those who argue there’s formula with cereal- no that’s rice starch not cereal. That’s a topping for later though.

Don’t believe me? Here are some links (including Canada and the WHO since location is sometimes brought up as an argument)

Wow 😮 what the hell 🤔

And first of all how would this even be able to get out of the nipple

My baby's doctor said you can introduce cereal and oatmeal if you want. I use a spoon tho I have never put it in a bottle. And doesn't get it every day maybe twice a week just to get him ready and familer with it when he gets older

Looks dangerous. 😳

.... people actually do this? Take 10 minutes and feed your damn child!!

Well I did it with all 4 of mine I guess I’m lazy 😭🤷🏽‍♀️

Lmao well shit 😂

Public school vs homeschool is a “to each their own” kinda thing. Something that is dangerous and in no way beneficial is not.

🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ to each is own. No need for the tag @lacondesa, people always judge other moms for their choices instead of educating. All I’ve seen are women calling her lazy. Cut it out

I’ve done this 🤷🏽‍♀️ all kids perfectly fine and healthy. Your kid your choice

This is a real "mom cares more about her sleep than putting your life at risk" bottle

That looks gross

I thought the same thing . I know people use baby cereal am formula but I never seen someone use all three and that much of an amount anyways

I personally didnt do it, but I'm not gonna call other parents lazy if that how they take care of their child. That judging others and that's sad. If you dont wanna be judge for your parenting, dont judge others. Dont pretend you never done a easier way out of things as a parent.if it dangerous, dont judge them, educate them . Nobody is perfect and nobody knows everything. I never knew it was dangerous and never thought of look it up as danger. It takes 2mins to educate but apparently so quick to judge . There is hazardous thing everyday and it hard to keep up with all of you.

This is exactly what my SIL does with my premature nephew SMFH. Its formula, baby food, and baby rice cereal. I call it "Im to lazy to actually spoon feed my child"

Fuck no because I’m not lazy or selfish enough to do this. Sad

No way. That’s lazy & dangerous.

I did for my niece but she needed her formula thicker due to her acid reflux. It did not make her sleep longer... Babies will sleep longer when THEY are ready

That's just being lazy. Like Caiti mentioned only formula or breast milk should go in a bottle

Absolutely not. That is a choking hazard.

Lol

I honestly don’t understand what I’m looking at to be honest lol

Wtf is this? That can’t be okay? Can it? I’ve never in my life seen anything like that!

What is that?

Wtf hell no! The only thing that should go in a babies bottle is formula or breast milk.

Id never do it i feel like its laziness.

What in the world??

What’s that
