A long time ago I remember a friend using a bottle to feed cereal to her infant. The bottom of the bottle was a flat disc that moved with the flow of the cereal, staying flat against the cereal so air couldn't seep in. Does anyone remember this or know of where to get one?

It is not recommended that you use a bottle to feed food to an infant. Use a bowl and spoon instead.

Well, the doctors all suggest using the bowl and spoon for feeding cereal. I did this for a while until my kids were older. However, I have (sigh) used cereal in a bottle, but bought the nipples with larger holes.

The bottle you are describing sounds like the vent-aire by evenflo. You can find them many places, babiesrus.com should have them. They aren't specifically designed for cereal, I have never seen a "cereal bottle", I have just always used the Y cut nipples. If you are adding cereal to help the baby sleep, doesn't work! I had to add cereal for my baby's reflux problems per my pediatrician.

Never put cereal in a bottle - the risks of choking are astronomical!
ALWAYS give any solids by spoon.

Use a bowl and spoon. Solid foods really should not be fed in a bottle unless a doc has recommended this for reflux.

I AGREE THAT CEREAL SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN IN BOTTLE UNLESS DIRECTED BY DOCTOR, BUT USE DR. BROWN BOTTLES. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT HAVE A Y CUT NIPPLE. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE THOUGH, AND DON'T EVER TRY TO CUT THE HOLES IN THE NIPPLE YOURSELF OR USE FAST FLOW BECAUSE THE BABY WILL CHOKE
