Why don't YOU try some cereal in your cup?!?

erin922 · May 2010

Seriously, if one more person tells me to try putting some rice cereal in DD's bottle, I'm going to shove a spoonful down their throats! Of course the first question out of people's mouths is "is she sleeping through the night?" When I say she gets up once usually around 3-4 and then is pretty much up a little after 6, they immediately think that is horrible and I should try some rice cereal. Umm, NO. I consider myself very lucky that DD sleeps fairly consistently and I'm only getting up once a night. I don't expect her to be sleeping 8+ hours straight and I will not try to force her to with something everyone thinks makes the baby sleep longer! Vent over.

Yup... I hear this pretty regularly too. And honestly, I don't mind the half-hour wake-up/feed/put back down session that we go through sometime between 2:30-4:30am. My boobs need the relief anyway!!

Right there with you! We had to add cereal at around 1 month old per the pedi for reflux. When we switched to soy at 2.5 months, I was so excited that we didn't have to add cereal anymore. Now people tell me to add cereal because she wakes up once per night - they don't realize we've BTDT for other reasons and it doesn't help the sleep at all! Thanks but no thanks.
