Did giving your LO cereal make them wake earlier?

If so how long does that transition last?  Advice?  TIA

Do you mean in the bottle? We never did that. Giving DD cereal (from a bowl) or other solids had no effect on her sleeping habits.

Same here.

Not in a bottle.  This is the 2nd time I've tried oatmeal in a bowl in 2 weeks & both times he woke at least an hour early.  Maybe coincidence but I swear I remember people posting about this, tho don't remember what they said

Once we started cereal and other solids DD started sleeping better.  Naps became longer and she slept even longer at night than she had been.

We don't give much cereal at night. It makes my LO gassy....we usually give oatmeal with breastmilk and fruit at breakfast time. Helped lengthen his morning nap.

If we give any cereal in the evening, it's mixed in with his purees and it's usually only enough to thicken a little. A lot of cereal in the evening just seemed to be too heavy on his belly and he didn't nurse well at bedtime.
