did you start rice cereal at 4.months?

Question

every major pediatric research says not to start food until 6 months due to open gut. every major research and common sense says rice cereal has no nutritional factor. it just seems like everyone is rushing into giving their child cereal.

Answer

yes I did.. I had a 9lb baby, that didn't want to breastfeed, so I did ease cereal into her bottle, to help keep her full. But it's wasn't every bottle.. I also gave her apple juice early. She never became overweight, she a normal fat baby 😀.. I feel a mother knows best although it's ok to take some advice from the doctor

Answer

I had a extremely hungry child that wasn’t satisfied with just formula. What works for one doesn’t always work with another. We all make the best decisions we can for what we feel is right for our children

Answer

I started at 4 months because my son is not gaining enough.  Doctor suggested we try it (he loves it and no issues so far).    We are going back to the doctor this week, so I hope its helping.  Initially though I was thinking around 5 months.

Answer

we started oatmeal cereal at 4 months by doctor RECOMMENDATION. she wasn't gaining well. drank as much milk as I could stuff into her but she still wasn't staying on her growth curve. and of course, it didn't replace any of her bottles (exclusively pump) and we started slowly only once a day. by her 5 month weight check, she was back on track and has been ever since. not every child is the same and this is definitely something to be discussed with the pediatrician, not the all knowing women of the internet.
