Cereal Question

How long do you give DC rice cereal/oatmeal?  DS seems to eat the purees much better, and I hate to give him something with little to no nutritional value.

    Unless he needs the iron in the cereal I would just skip it.  Once the girls started eating the purees I only used the oatmeal cereal to thicken the homemade purees or bulk up a meal.

    DD has constipation issues and the Pediatrician recommended on Friday that I give her oatmeal everyday. I guess it helps keep them regular? I'm not exactly sure.

    One thing you can do to make it more interesting is to mix it with fruits. DD loves it mixed with pears, apple sauce, etc.

    I gave it for a long long time, until DD didn't want it anymore (maybe upto her 1st b-day, maybe even beyond, don't remember now). As Kendra said, you can mix it up with purees but fruits and veggies do have nutritional value. I BFed til DD was 14mo old so she needed the cereal for nutrients, if you FF, your LO is probably getting the nutrients from that (esp. iron).
