Baby cereal in bottle?

Question

So I'm a 2nd time mom & this is not new to me. But has anyone done this as early as 2 months old? I didn't do it with my 1st until he was almost 4 months old. I just want one goods night sleep lol

Answer

my pediatrician has my 4 week old on rice cereal due to severe reflux.  i add 1 teaspoon of rice cereal per 1 ounce of breast milk to thicken the milk up.  (so a 4 oz bottle would have 4 teaspoons of gerber rice cereal dissolved in it). he keeps it down better and less vomitting. or at least in theory. my son is still vomitting over 30 times a day. poor thing.

Answer

The pediatrician told us to give it to my 6 week now 7 week old for her reflux. We only give her a tiny amount and not in every bottle. It's definitely helped the reflux and she gets to keep more food down since she isn't spitting everything up anymore.
