Baby Kaidyn is 2 and 1/2 months and she eats 4oz of formula with rice cereal every 3 hours. That does sound like a bit much and so frequently.

Can i give cereal to my bby? Shes 2mnths

@betty You should be able to. My daughters doctor told me give her cereal. She has acid reflux and spits up a lot so the cereal thickens her milk so she can keep it down. I think it would be fine for your baby. My daughter gets baby food in her bottles also due to the formula which tastes horrible. She drinks Similac Alimentum.

@betty She also has been getting cereal since she was 3 weeks. I put 2 1/2-3 scoops of cereal to her 4oz of milk she drinks. Use the milk scoop.

@betty @ashleyfew Is right if not for medical reasons don't give it to your baby. As I forget to mention above and also you should check with the pediatrician.

I put a couple baby spoonfuls of rice cereal in my sons nightly bottle.. Helps both he and I get a lil more sleep.. He is 2 1/2 weeks old and I've been doing it for the last 5 days and have had no problems with it bothering his belly at all.. I personally see no problems with it for my son..
