  • I think its three months
  • So I'm gonna passout from exhaustion:(
  • your scaring me
  • When I have them I anm going to be exhausted
  • Idk for sure. I dont think mine ever got cereal until 6 months
  • Do not put cereal in the bottle, your baby could choke. You should only feed a baby "solid" foods from a spoon. And from my experience cereal at bedtime doesn't always help a baby sleep better. My son slept thru the night at 6 wks, but when we started solids between 5 and 6 months he began waking in the night again. I Think the minimum age for cereal is 4 months.
  • I wouldn't do cereal in the bottle...three only suggestion I can give u is to switch to formula with rice starch in it, it is thicker than regular formula and can help them stay fuller longer, but no guarantees. I know it helped my son sleep better/longer at night when i started a regular and strict bedtime routine
  • There only a wk old but omg I'm tired....jus wanted to kno if it was safe....ummm wat kind of formula has starch n it?

    @jazz its really hard wit 2 once u think ur done...the other starts cryin...
  • My mom started me on cereal at 2 weeks. Then again I was an abnormally large baby and it was the 80s...
  • I fave my daughter cereal at 3 week only a teaspoon per 4oz of formula...I never had any problems....nowadays, to many people are going by "the books".....she was getting table foods at 5 months old...do what you feel is right....my daughter is as healthy as can be....5 more weeks til my son is here, and I plan on doing him the same way.
  • R u strictly bf or does baby get formula? Enfamil has bedtime formula that u could try. It's quite a bit thicker.
  • I gave my son cereal in his milk also at two weeks not a lot though. And he was only 7 lbs 14 oz at birth. Trust your gut feeling. Ask their doctor.
  • Imma ask my doctor..thanks everyone
