I have a 21/2 month old boy. For his first 6 wks he got breast milk, and a month ago I switched to formula (I dried up completely) I asked the Doctor and she said to feed him between 3-4 oz at his age. My mom and friends, and even mother in-law are telling me to put cereal, or dry rice in his bottle to make sure that he is getting full. They also tell me to give him a couple of oz of juice everyday. I asked the doctor and she said no! But she would not explain why. I have been told by another doctor to give him apple and prune juice to help with constipation. My doc is also against this, Should I switch Doctors, Should I take everyones advice, with giving him rice or juice? Can this hurt him, and How?
