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.
How many mamys breast feed & formula feed ?
Breastfeeding. I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.

I'm not planning to breast feed but would you ladies recommend breast feeding for the first time or straight onto bottles? Everyone keeps telling me different and I need advice! 😓

Never. It’s not necessary.

What about starting baby foods?
The EK 💁🏼♀️··
We started at 6m.

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

@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.

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

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My MIL tried to push/insist on rice cereal as well - must be an outdated expectation from the generations before us.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.

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 I think that’s an outdated thing.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.

He doesn’t need it

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.

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

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.
