@Mommy2IsaiahNGiselle he doesn't have that and he's definitely not lacking in the weight department so I don’t know why he wants me to start him on it so early?
If you don't think it's necessary, then I wouldn't do it. I'm surprised a ped would recommend it before 4 months for no reason. Usually its for acid reflux or weight gain.
My ped told me to start it with my son at 6 weeks because he was wanting to eat every hour to two hours and he was draining me being that I was exclusively breastfeeding. So I would pump a couple times a day and add the rice cereal. Now at 8 weeks he is finally spread his feelings out to 3 hours and 4 hours with the cereal added.
I switched my baby to Enfamil AR which stands for "added rice". She was spitting up alot on gentlease. Its way thicker, and it has added rice POWDER, not cereal, and its a formula. I did have to have nipples with faster flow. She is 2 months old and this week slept through the night 3 times. she is much happier and not eating as much because it is staying down. Not completely....but mostly. I think she has reflux too, because she only sleeps through the night if she is elevated...aka sleeps in carseat.
