My little guy is 4 weeks old and I cannot convience my MIL that it is not okay to shove cereal down his throat.
I know that everyone has their own opinions about the right age to give a baby cereal, but just wondering if anyone else is having this battle with their family members?
Ultimately, the decision is up to me, since this baby came out of my vag and my vag only.....
Re: Cereal
If she's just telling you that, then you can tell her no, he needs to be at least 4 or 5 months old [or whatever your pedi tells you] and just ignore any other comments she makes. If she's trying to feed him cereal, then she should not be left alone with him. You and DH may need to be having a firm talk with her soon! GL!
Oh, I agree it is way too young!
IMO, he needs to be at least 4-6 months old.
No, she hasn't tried. She just keeps bringing it up. Like last night she said, oh he's 4 weeks old, he can have cereal now. I said, no....it's 4-6 months old.

As long as she's not trying to feed your baby, I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Good luck!
Exactly this first paragraph. My mom and MIL would never try to convince me to do something a different way, but we do like to compare.
Sternly (and respectfully) put her in her place.
