I searched "Rice Cereal" here on ANSWERS and you Mommies are so adamant about NO RICE CEREAL, but why? What EXACTLY is so wrong with it? My 2 1/2 week old weighs almost 12 pounds (she was 10lbs, 9oz at birth) and is always so hungry! She's not "fat," just pretty big for her age. I'm breastfeeding her and supplementing with soy formula as well, about 8 oz per day. She takes 5-10 minute naps most of the day and sleeps in about 45-60 minute spurts at night. She will take two one hour naps during the day and again around 3:30 - 4:30 a.m. OUCH.
A good friend of my Mom's (a Labor & Delivery Nurse / Neonatal Head of nursing for 20 years) suggested giving her Rice Cereal. She says (and I agree), "Some babies are just very hungry!" I did it once today (1 tblsp. in 1 oz. as directed on the box) and I've never seen my baby look so satisfied. So please explain why this is so bad, besides just saying "THAT IS REALLY BAD!!," etc. Thanks!
