Hey darlin'

I was reading on 3-6 months where you wrote that adding rice cereal to your LOs bottle was a big fat fail. Why was it a fail? I'm debating whether to add it to LOs (pedi recommended we do so due to her relux) bottles and am curious as to your experience.

Also, how much rice cereal did you add to the bottle?

TIA!

  • Our pedi recommended 1 tsp per oz. It was a big fat fail because it didn't help her reflux at all. She continued to spit up and after a week, she was actually getting worse. That's when she ended up on zantac, and at that point, the pedi said to take her off the cereal since it wasn't helping.

    However, I've heard many babies do well with it. A friend of mine said her son did better with baby oatmeal as opposed to rice cereal.

    Yeah, my pedi recommended barley cereal, actually. It supposed to be even gentler than rice - who knew? I will try it and see how it works out. Thanks again, Sarah.

    No problem! I hope it works for Sabina. :)
