I just wanted to find out two things. Does anyone know where to find a casein baed formula (this is for hungrier babies aka hungry baby milk to make them feel full)? Or can someone give me the name of one preferably that is located in US...I found one site but it is in the UK and shipping to the States is crazy. Also what age can I start on rice cereal to put in my babies bottles?
Just to give some background my baby is almost 6 wks old and eats 4 - 6 oz formula every two hours like clock work and weighs 12 lbs already. And yes I do try and give him more and he still eats every two hours I can get it any longer he starts to scream.
I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Baby is too young for rice cereal. Please wait until around 6 months of age and use a spoon to feed the cereal. Don't put it in the bottle. He may be in a growth spurt and just needs more. Try using an 8 oz. bottle and see how much he takes. Have you tried an organic formula? I prefer natural and organic foods and used Baby's Only Organic.

First things first DO NOT PUT THE CEREAL IN THE BOTTLE!
Call and talk to your local health nurse. They can answere all of your questions and give you the best advice on what to get and where to get it. Hope this helps. Usually the cereal even says not to be fed through a bottle it is very unsafe. Hope this helps have a good day! Congrats and good luck and health to you and yours!

Most babies don't get fed cereal until at least 3 months at the earliest. You should talk to his pediatrician about his excessive appetite.Maybe he can help. Good luck.
