when you started rice cereal with a spoon

DelGrecoBride

how much formula and cereal did you mix together?

GRKaters

One tablespoon, plus enough formula to make it the consistency I wanted... no real measurement. Kind of depends what your LO prefers.

I made it thin enough for her to take but just thick enough for it to stay on the spoon.

I started with 1 tablespoon, but now he's up to 2. I think now I use about 3/4 of an oz. of formula.  He seems to get annoyed if it's too watery.  I never even read the directions, whoops!

they don't all have good directions. i bought gerber rice cereal and it said just to add water/formula/juice until desired consistency.

The directions on the Gerber box make way too much for the first few times you're giving rice cereal... at least IMO

Someone once suggested a ratio of 3 to 1; breastmilk to cereal.
