Cereal ?!?

Question

When did you start feeding your baby cereal/rice?

Answer

Never. It had no nutritional value. Consider starting baby on solids no sooner than 6 months and start with organic veggies.

Answer

I don’t plan to. They don’t have any nutritional value nor do they teach a baby about chewing, food texture, or play. Rice cereal is particularly constipating too, which my baby does not need!

Answer

3 months. Only because my baby has really bad acid reflux & has had choking episodes. So they told me to give her oatmeal to help keep stuff down!

Answer

You don’t need to start with cereal anymore. It has very little benefit. Some pedis say you can start as early as four months (never in the bottle though-that’s a choking hazard). But the research really shows its best to wait until six months, as there can be lifelong risks associated with starting before that.

Answer

I tried once Peditrician gave approval to begin solids at 4 months (my son is a big baby and already had some teeth).  He HATED the cereals.  LOL.
 
Had better luck with purees later and also doing baby led weaning.  He is 14 months and needs whole meals - milk doesn’t fill him up anymore.

Answer

I never did. We did purees starting at 6 months, then did baby led weaning starting around 7 months

Answer

Baby cereal is HORRIBLE for babies as it has zero nutritional value and basically turns into sugar in your baby's belly. Even adult food rice (yes brown rice too) and oatmeal are very bad for baby. The only healthy alternative is whole quinoa which is very good for your baby.

Answer

Never! We started Baby LED Weaning around 6.5 months.
