ceral

just wondering how soon you starting giving you LO ceral and what amount of ceral and liquid did you mix. also did you spoon or bottle feed?

Re: ceral

  • We did cereal at 6 months.  We mixed it with bm until it was like some of the more liquidy purees.  We fed it with a spoon.  I believe cereal is only recommended in a bottle if your LO has reflux and a doc recommends it-a potential choking hazard.  Solids in general are recommended to be started at 4-6 months.  Good luck!

  • I started the cereal with LO at almost one month due to lots of reflux but that was recommended by her doctor.  I would check with the pediatrician as to what would be the earliest you should start if LO is younger than 4-6months.  I feed it to her in a bottle but she has never had any signs of nipple confusion.

  • We didn't start cereal until he was over 6 months old.  We never put it in a bottle.  We only spoon fed.  I would consult with your doctor first because based on a post earlier by you your little one is around a month old.  At this point they do not need anything more than breastmilk.  DS was eating every 1.5-2 hours at this age.  It continued to every 2-3 hours until he was over 6 months old.
