why?!
Why is it every time we give my lo cereal she is awake all night long and sleeps HORRIBLE? Shouldn't solids make her sleep better? She is ready for solids but if this is what happens idk if I can handle not sleeping. She went to bed at 7:30 and at midnight she was awake till 2 and then back up at 6am and got up at 7am. She usually sleeps all night except giving up once to replace her pacifier. She is 5.5 months old. She ate the cereal really well.

your pediatriian may say otherwise. this is just what I was advised to do
@taztwister84 our ped has been telling us to start solids since she was 4 months..actually she said to start it in her bottle at 2 months but we didn't cause we didn't feel she needed it. She has been watching us eat and trying to grab my food, so I feel she is ready. I always thought we were suppose to start with cereal. Did you not try cereal at all? She ate it fine. I may have given her too much which might have been our problem. I just fed her until she didn't want any more than gave her the rest of my pumped milk in a bottle.
@kristaf22 yes she is so good with advice. I will be looking into it better.
@lilbit01_209 we just started solids so we are still trying to figure out what is best for her. I just didn't think it would be much of an issue. We are going to try it in the morning rather than at night to see if that helps, she didn't have any today.
@salasmommy yea we weren't giving it to her at night to make her sleep longer..she has slept through the night since 2 months old. At night it was just easier for our schedules. But we switched to giving it to her in the morning, today is the first day so we will see how it goes.
@ready2bmommy yea when I did my research it said that, but it also said it was more likely to constipate her..but she didn't have a problem the other night so I think we are in the clear for that.
