My MIL suggested putting cereal mixed w/ formula in LO's bottle before bed. She said just pick 1 nipple and make the hole a little larger so the thicker mixture can go through. My husband is ademant on NOT doing it, since it's no ok with the doctor (he's over paranoid). I'm thinking about about doing but, but nervous to do it because I have no idea how much to put in... LO is 3 months old.
Has anyone done this?
Re: Putting rice ceral in the bottle
3 months is too early for any solids.
If and when your pedi approves the introduction of rice cereal you should offer that to your baby on a spoon, never in a bottle. It's a choking hazard.
It won't help your baby sleep any better.
Your doctor and husband are right; MIL is wrong and her advice is potentially dangerous.
PPs are completely right, rice cereal is not good right now.
Thank you everyone! I'll just wait to introduce solids!

This. And my gem of a MIL suggested I put chunks of fruit in the rice cereal when I told her my DD didnt seem to like it. 8-|
