This might be a dumb question, but I'm posting anyway. When do you give your babies rice cereal? We tried to give it to our girls right before bedtime and it was a total failure. Is there a better time of day, and will it still help them sleep longer at night?
When I first started, we gave it at their first feeding, they were hungrier from STTN and seemed to have a bigger appetite.
Everything I have heard is that it will not help them sleep longer/STTN. The cereal is for practice eating, they are still getting their nutrition from their formula/BM for the first year.

We just started rice cereal about 2 weeks ago. Right now we are giving it to them once a day, at "dinner time" which is their 6:00 feeding. We give the cereal to them after the 6:00 bottle and then they have 1 more bottle at 8:30 for bed.
