Quick Rice Cereal Question-

dbertagni

Do you give the bottle first or the cereal then follow with bottle?

It may have been because Scott was still so far behind on weight gain but they told us at first to always do the bottle first and then cereal b/c EBM or formula has more calories and nutrition than cereal.  But as he got older (like 9-10 mos or so) we started offering solids first.

Ditto this. We really didn't start offering solids first until maybe 11 months.

You should offer the bottle first, then offer the cereal.  We have been offering a bottle around 4:30, then feeding him around 6:30 (cereal).  He will then get milk at bedtime (around 8)
