at what age did your baby start holding their bottle by themselves and at what age did you start to put cereal

Question

in their bottle??

Answer 1

She started holding the bottle herself when she was 4 months old. We've never put cereal in her bottles. She ate it from a bowl with a spoon.

Answer 2

My baby started on cereal at 6 months and could hold bottle by herself between 6-7 months. My other child could hold her bottle at around 4 months. I never put cereal in the bottle, and would only talk to the pediatrician before doing so. From what I was told (from several differnt dr) is when you first introduce them to cereal it is not for any nutri. value, but it is to help to teach them to eat off of a spoon.

Answer 3

My first child started holding his bottle by about 4-5 months old. I never put cereal in his bottle and introduced only a small amount by spoon at first then got him up to eating a whole serving by 6 months old..

Answer 4

You should not put cereal in a baby's bottle. They can start having it with a spoon when they are four months old.

Babies can hold their bottle on their own at about 7 months, BUT they keep taking it out and playing with it. I only just now, at 10 months, let my son control his own sippy.

Answer 6

My girls began holding their battle at 4 or 5 months. And you NEVER unless you dr tells you to put cereal in their bottle. It does nothing for them. Feed them the cereal if you really want to give it to the baby, this way you are teaching them something.

Answer 7

My son started holding his bottle at 7 months, and we started putting cereal in his bottle at 4 months. You should ask your pediatrician before doing so, but most likely they will tell you it is OK to add single grain rice cereal to the bottle.
