Cereal questions?

litlmermd · April 2010

Is your LO eating it yet? What age did you start? Do you find that it helps them STTN better at all? I know there is no miracle answer in getting your LOs to STTN, but DD is up 2-3 times and night and I am wondering if cereal could help. My ped said to do it, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought about the topic. Thanks!

I dont think that cereal has any effect on a baby sttn. We just started giving cereal 3 days ago (LO will be 6 months this wkend).

We started rice cereal at 3 months because he was eating so much formula and BM. It helped him to sleep longer through the night. Now it is a whole different story, he is up 1-2 times per night....we are working on that.

We started cereal about 3 weeks ago and fruit purees last week. Our pedi said it's a myth that cereal/solids helps with STTN since at this age LO's primary source of nutrition should be either breast milk or formula and solids before 8-9 months are just to teach them how to swallow, use a spoon and experience new flavors and textures.
