water, formula or breastmilk? DS is EBF, so not sure if I should use pumped milk (i have a hard enough time as it is keeping up with his eating habits while I'm at work!) or water?
My DS is FF and I use formula. If you EBF, I would suggest using pumped milk (it really doesn't take that much) though I'm sure it really doesn't matter. It's just I mix my own oatmeal with milk instead of water because it's creamier, so I think DS would prefer it that way too
If DS is EBF, then definitely use pumped BM. I would suggest not using formula, only because then you are introducing two new things at once, and that's probably not good. JMHO though.
we use water.. or now his fruits or veggies... but he didn't like it with the BM and seemed to do better with the water... it just depends on what your LO likes..
Re: what do you mix your cereal with?

Rice cereal: Formula, otherwise it has no taste.
Oatmeal: Water.
