At what age did you begin to put cereal in your baby's bottle?

Answer 1

2 months, just not thick...both my babies are fine and slept through the night early

Answer 2

If you read the research on any pediatric website, you will see that peditricians advise against putting cereal in a bottle unless the baby has reflux. If the baby is old enough to take cereal, it is old enough to do it by spoon. The saying that it causes babies to sleep through the night is a myth. It is said just because the time people put cereal in a bottle usually coincides with the time babies start to sleep through the night.

Answer 3

I started when my baby was 5 months.

Putting cereal in bottles has been done for years-- it's fine regardless of what anyone says.

What I did was feed my baby sometimes w/ a spoon & other times I put it in the bottle.

Answer 4

i did not put cereal in the bottle i waited until they were 6 months and feed it to them out of a bowl. good luck

Answer 5

I have never put it in their bottle. Its not recommended. at 6 months you can give them cereal with a spoon.

Answer 6

I wouldn't do that if I where you...but if you do wait till the baby is sitting up really well. I say about 7 months

Answer 7

4-6 months old not in bottle spoon feed

Answer 8

Actually I was told by my doctor not to give my son cereal in a bottle.

Answer 9

It's not advised to put cereal in a baby's bottle.

It works quite well at five months feeding it to them on a spoon.

Answer 10

I dont think you should put cereal in your baby's bottle - I was a midwife in the UK - and I advise you not to.

Answer 11

I did it at 2 or 3 months, but they both got colicky, and it may have been why. My mother used to put a little karo syrup as well so as not to bind him up.
