  I know, I know. But if I decide to introduce it, I think this may be the way to go.

  I did this with oatmeal with my first. Instant rice cereal tastes disgusting

  But the infant stuff has a ton of added nutrients. Iron, omega 3, etc.

  I've used the coffee grinder to do this with grains. For oats, a food processor works fine.

  Good to know! I would tihnk they would get enough nutrients with it since you still mix it with formula/breast milk. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here ...

  Especially formula (as far as the iron goes anyway) I would think, although it's not a huge amount.

  Right ... and Alex is 100% FF now, and has been for a while since she decided to stop latching, I then tried EPing, but dried up. It's been like almost 2 months now I think. So calories wise, it'd just help keeping her full. Cause she eats a lot, just super frequently during the day. She pretty much refuses to each more than 4oz at once and then is hungry anywhere from 1.5-3 hours later. Nighttime she does well though. So I guess its an okay trade off. Obviously, before I do anything I'll talk to our pedi at the 4 month appointment. I know she's had weight gain issues in the past, so he might have us start her on it anyway, depending on her growth.
