You are feeding him cereal right??

This is what my Dh's grandma said to me the other day. Um......no my son is 7 weeks old, you don't give a 7 week old cereal. She told me that doctors tell you not too but they don't know anything. Pretty sure I won't be leaving him with her to babysit ever, or next thing I know she'd be giving him chocolate and ice cream!

    lol grandma's say the craziest things! My mom didn't want us to go over one night to visit because she had seen a possum and was convinced it was going to jump into my DD car seat and run off with her. lol She also could tell in the dark that it had mange and rabies :P

    Back in your grandmothers day, probably even your mothers day (I guess depending how old you are) it was acceptable for babies to be fed cereal. It is just a different generation. Just take it all with a grain of salt.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    My mom said that at 5 weeks we should begin giving him cereal.  I told her I thought that was a little early and she said that's what she did with me.

    Different times, for sure.

    DH grandmother says that one of her daughters was allergic to formula and she didn't bf, so the dr told his grandma to feed the baby ginger ale. Supposedly the baby had nothing but ginger ale for months! Indifferent

    Times have changed! lol

    My grandmother asked me why I wasn't feeding my 2 month old baby food yet!!?  I said because they don't get that until they're 6 months old!!

     However, because my son has reflux the doctor actually had me put rice cereal in with my breast milk starting at 4 weeks old.  We tried that route instead of medication and it actually worked.  I was pretty against it but not as much as I was against medication so I tried it!
