A poll on cereal

Re: A poll on cereal

  • Angtru18Angtru18

    Because of Acid Reflux, DS has been on rice cereal since 3 weeks. He started sleeping in 5 hour stretched at 6 weeks, sleeping through the night by 3 months, and has been sleeping 12-13 hours a night for the past month.

    I dont know if its cause of the cereal or because hes just a good sleeper though.

    Yes please!  My husband is pressuring me to give our son cereal and I see no point.  Honestly, I see no point in ever giving it to him.

    DS started sttn at around 8 weeks 8 hours by 3 months 12 hours. He was FF with absolutely no solids until 6 months. So just a good sleeper. DD is Bfed with absoluitely no solids until 6 months even with her reflux (upright sleeping works for her) and has been doing 7 hour stretches for a long time now. I'm not allowed to let her go longer between feeds due to issues. but she would if I let her. So no I don't personally believe that cereal helps, I belive that some babies are good sleepers and others are not and a lot of it is parenting. Sorry about the rant. :) If parents want to do it, fine, I'm personally not going to judge, but I'm not going to do it

    DS was already STTN by the time we ever gave him cereal and DD will be the same way (she started STTN at 3 weeks and won't start solids until about 4.5-5 months).

    They've known since 1989 that it doesn't have any effect.

    This is a pretty interesting read.

    I did SS because she slept the same - still sttn. As other posters have noted, it's been a myth for quite some time that it will help a baby sleep.

    My baby slept very well before cereal...around 8-12 hours a night so when we added cereal this did not change.
