My problem?
Why not try calling Poison Control instead?

My mom did some things that were not my way and I really didn't give it much thought. My mom has 4 babies and I have one, so I figured she was more the expert. Some parents might take offense to it, others may pass it off like me. Suz' won't know until she approaches it with her grandbabies momma. BUT, at the same time, what if the babies daddy is okay with the way Suz' handles her grandchild?

BF's mom does the same thing with the kids when she watches them, but they're older. I just think giving cereal to an infant against the mother's wishes is a bigger deal than giving a 2 year old juice instead of water (for example).

Suz came off with a big chip on her shoulder..she was doing it her way and she didn't GAF what the baby's mother said. I guess we have to get more details about what the father things, what the doctor says, why the mother doesn't want the baby to have cereal, etc. But, it's not a big deal. Sounds like Suz doesn't care what others say, she's going to do it her way.

"basically just said" = interpretation of their post. Did I QUOTE them in writing my post? No.

And yes, there is something wrong with my child, you figured it out. GENIUS I tell you!!!

Have you asked your pediatrician?

Yep, he told me to do it.

Well, THERE is where you're going wrong. These Mommies know a LOT more than your pediatrician! They are well-educated and some of them even have a whole six months of experience dealing with infants!

In fact, where'd you get some pediatrician who would poison an innocent little baby with rice cereal - the City Mission???

I'm calling Social Services now. There is no way they should let you even bring the baby home from the hopsital.
