Cereal in Bottle

[sockgirl77]

How old were they when they were drinking 6 ounces every 3-4 hours? My son is 6 months old tomorrow and he drinks 6 ounces every 3-3.5 hours. That's completely normal.

My 3 month old piggie is drinking 6 ounces now. I started her on a little bit of baby food last night. She had 3 spoonfuls of apple sauce and went to town. Freaking doctor told me that she's overweight. She said that babies should not double their weight until they are 6 months. The nurse told me that I had nothing to worry about. Baby is healthy and does not weigh too much. She was 6 lbs 1 oz. at birth and is now a whopping 12 lbs at 14 weeks.

Chubby babies are cute (and healthy). I love fat rolls on infants!

I can't wait to find out little Speedy's 6 month stats on Thursday. He had to go to his pedi at 5 months for a cold and he was 16 pounds even. He was 26" long at his 4 month appointment. I am curious to find out if he's close to the 30" limit on his infant seat.

She said that babies should not double their weight until they are 6 months.

I disagree.

I have arthritis in my hands so I can only go so long with toting them around in that thing. She'll be upgrading to the 0-80 seat in no time.

I disagree.

So do I. All of my babies pretty much had the same birth weight. All of them weighed 12 pounds way before they were 6 months. None of them were overweight.

My son was 6lbs 9oz at birth, and 14lbs 14oz at 4 months. And he's certainly NOT overweight.

Check your karma.

I asked my sister for the updated stats, and she said Evan is 22 lbs and 27". He nurses about every 2 hours...

Your damn right I am. If he's that hungry I'M going to feed him food.




I don't understand your problem with this. I always kept this on hand 'in case' it was needed. Still do for the grand children.

because this is che's mom, and the poor kid couldnt poop for 2 days after you went against my wishes. and if you would continue to go against what i ask you to do when he is in your care and you dont wanna tell me. maybe you shouldnt post it on a public forum. that would be a thought. he was only 3 months old for gods sake.

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.

NEVER!!! I breastfeed until he was 18 months, his first cereal was from a spoon mixed with my breast milk.

my little one just started eating cereal from a spoon and he is about 5 months and 2 weeks old. i just followed the doctors orders, is what everyone should do. hes doing great with it. i dont reccomend doing it any sooner, especially if they have poop problems. I never put it in a bottle though, they said that is way to old school and if they need cereal always feed it to him with a spoon. they said to start with about 2 tablespoons twice a day mixed with about 2 ounces of formula.
