My pediatrician ok'ed me putting a little cereal in my son's bottle before bed (he is a BIG eater), so how do I do this? Aren't there special bottles and nipples that you do this with?

got mine at wal-mart and it came with 2 bottles and a nipple a spoon and a sippy cup lid witch all of them fit on the bottles their made by nubby and they are to get you baby ready to eat out of a spoon and to teach them how to drink out of a sippy cup oh yea the spoon has a hole in it like a straw so the baby can suck it out its neat my son is 3 months and he likes it they cost around 4 to 5 dollars but its worth it good luck and i hope this helped. oh and the bottles have this thing were you can push the baby food up through the bottom of the bottle so they dont suck air.

I did what my husbands mother did with each of her 5 kids. I used a regular bottle and just made the hole in the nipple a little bigger. I dont know if thats the best thing to do but it worked great. If this is your sons first introduction to something other than milk, make the mixture REALLY watery so he doesnt get an upset belly.

You can use any bottle.. you will just need to get feeding nipple for the bottle. They have some with Y cut on them or you can go by the flow. Good luck.

i have found that using any nipple works...well the high flows in particular..but in a pinch even the low flow will do..it takes them a while to eat the bottle, but who cares! (I looked for the special nipples..and no where around here has them so I gave up) the regular nipples work just fine..and i dont worry about them eating too fast and spitting it all back up!

Most bottles offer a y-cut or cereal nipple, but it is really not recommended to feed cereal through a bottle as it can cause the baby to overeat or choke.

Go to the bottle section and look for "Y" cut nipples.

The last place that I was able to find the cereal feeders at was K-mart here where I live. They might have them at Wal-mart though. I haven't seen them in quite a while.

I don't think there are any special bottles but you'd probably want to get some wide ones, like Ventaire or Elan.
