Cereal in Bottle

GeezLouise · 01-21-2008, 05:21 PM

Hey Moms....

How old was your baby when you started to put cereal in their bottle? The little one (2 months) just does not seem satisfied and doesn't go very long in between feedings.

I had the same problem with my son. Doc had me start him on a very light mixture @ 2 months.

My son was two months old...This was on the advice of the doc. My oldest was downing an 8 ounce bottle every hour to hour & 1/2. She said to give him cereal in the bottle but that she doesn't recommend that to everyone. My son was just shy of 10lbs when he was born.

My son was 3 weeks old.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The pediatrician told me to add cereal....but as the link says above, it can supposedly lead to allergies which is what I have been reading when doing research online. I know my oldest had cereal in his bottle when he was a little over a month old, because he would spit up quite a bit. My oldest is fine and isn't overweight.

What to do, what to do....

She drinks 5 ounces every 2 hours....usually.

Kanana Banana Flakes

My boys are 29 and 24. They both had issues with reflux and also they didn't seem satisfied after feeding. My pediatrician recommended the Kanana Banana flakes for the oldest when he was just two weeks old. The youngest got them at 6 weeks.

The banana flakes are very easy on the baby's tummy and will thicken the milk just a little to satisfy them as well.

We got them at a pharmacy (Chandlers) in West Lanham Hills (along with their goats milk).

My son wasn't much older than that when the doc told me to start putting cereal in his bottle. I'm probably answering my own question......the sleep deprivation is getting to me.

Almost 3 months to the day for both of them!
