What do you mix your cereal with?

PAIrishBride

For the first couple of days I was mixing it with BM to make it sweeter so she would eat it, but it was stressing me out having to pump so that little bit more so I decided to mix with water.  My mom commented that I am "already putting her on a diet".  I didn't even think of the calorie issue.  My doc said it was fine to mix with bm or water. What do you guys think?

I mix mine with formula. ?If I was BF I'd probably mix it with BM. ?With the amount DS eats, I don't think water is a big deal though. ?

If your pedi said it was fine, I'm sure it is.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I use formula and a little applesauce or when they get older i use the breakfast jar food to mix with it.

BM.  I just pump several ounces at once and keep a bottle in the fridge for a few days so I can add a little each time.  I guess I'm just in the habit of using it vs. water because when DD was a baby, she had weight gain issues, so we HAD to use BM over water.  But, with the amount DS is taking right now, I doubt using water would make much difference.

I mix ours with water, heat it, then add a fruit puree.  Makes it smell and taste so yummy.

I mix it with her regular bottle serving size with formula. Seems to be working great but i'm sure it not the usual way to do it lol

Formula and a fruit.

Either just water or water and fruit.  Formula was a PITA just to mix a little bit for oatmeal.

Formula cause my BM is on short supply the way it is...I just started adding a fruit last week

Formula. Although I don't give it to him often. Water is fine though, esp if you mix it with a fruit or something.
