Haven’t been on here in FOREVER! But what age did you start feeding your little one rice cereal? He’s 3 months and my stepmom keeps nagging me on feeding it to him.

Question

Kaylynn · Answer

My stepmom was bragging how she was feeding it to her babies since they were 1 month bc it helps them sleep through the night but my LO sleeps just fine without it.

Don’t give rice cereal at all. Some studies came out a couple of years ago that most rice cereal contains arsenic.

Never gave rice cereal. Started baby food at 6 months

Brianna Montgomery · Answer

Recommended six months to start rice cereal. Not even all doctors are up to date with this , a lot will say four, like mine did . But then I was seeing a nutritionist and she told me absolutely noooo. And cereal is unnecessary to the fullest . It has no nutritional value unless your child has an iron deficiency and needs it to help, but even then there’s other ways . Just constipates them lol.

He doesn’t need it

No sooner than 6m. We do oatmeal cereal with puréed fruit for breakfast. (After nursing) Never rice. I think that’s an outdated thing. Older women in my family all ask about it too.

LEO Wifey · Answer

We also never used rice cereal. There's no nutritional value in it. At 6m we started on solids (stage 1 baby foods). 
My MIL tried to push/insist on rice cereal as well - must be an outdated expectation from the generations before us. When I asked my pediatrician about it, he confirmed that it's unnecessary and pretty much useless.

Christy Pfeiffer · Answer

It's recommended to wait til 6mths to introduce solids but mine wasn't interested in a bottle at 4mths so I tried baby oatmeal and then tried making baby food at 6mths

Deleted · Answer

Solids are not recommended until at least 6 months. I never gave my daughter infant cereal

Deleted · Answer

@lil.momma, correct. Anything other than breast milk or formula is considered a “solid.” Plus, baby should show all signs of readiness. Sitting unsupported, pincer grasp, no tongue thrust reflex

@flamingomom, This. ☝🏼Has your pediatrician discussed any of this with you? It’s a medical recommendation to wait until at least the 6m mark, but ideally until baby is showing all signs of readiness.

Kaylynn · Answer

@ek_, his last doctor appointment was when he was 2 months for his shots I go next month for his 4 month shots and I was going to ask them then

The EK 💁🏼‍♀️ · Answer

Never. It’s not necessary.

Kaylynn · Answer

What about starting baby foods?

The EK 💁🏼‍♀️ · Answer

@lil.momma, We started at 6m.
