What do you mix your cereal with?  Formula, BM or water?

Re: EBF Mamas, ? regarding cereal

  • BM

    I just hand express an ounce and mix it with an ounce of cereal.

  • I started out using BM, but Zack didn't take to cereal right away and I was throwing ounces away left and right. I started mixing a tablespoon or so of cereal in with the stage 1 purees and left it at that -- we still don't do straight cereal.

  • BM. I'll pump a little bit (like an ounce) and mix it in. I do cringe a bit at what gets leftover if DS doesn't eat much, but I'd rather him get more nutritional value from the cereal than just mixing with water.

  • mixing with formula was easier so that's what I do.

    I pump BM.  After the next week and a half, DH gets to be a SAHD for the summer, so I'll be pumping anyway at work.

  • Started with bm but it was too bland. Started using my own pureed banana + a little water instead. Now we use one ounce of prune juice + a pureed fruit and maybe a little water since DS has constipation issues. My pumped BM is too precious to use with solids anymore.
  • I used BM. And I used BM (thawed or fresh) for cereals and homemade purees until we were done with them.

  • I started with BM but then started having supply issues so I now use formula.  I also mix some fruit puree in at "breakfast".
