When did you add cereal to your baby's bottle?

Question

How old was your baby?

Answer

My doctor said never add to a bottle and 6 months by spoon but he would prefer none at all because it's not good for babies so we aren't using it at all.

Answer

Never. Its not in anyway nessasary and is nutritionly pointless.  It can also be a choking hazzard

Answer

About a week old, added it to bottle. My son couldn't hold his formula down and adding rice cereal was the only thing that helped. Doctor recommend it. I know a lot of people say it's bad for baby but I disagree and I hear from a lot of people that they was told by doctor to use it.

Answer

I don't plan to give any solids until 6 months (we're at almost 12 weeks now).

Answer

It's not recommended. It's very outdated and can be dangerous. Spoon feeding between 4-6 months is fine, though 6 months is now recommended.

Answer

My son is 10 weeks and gets 1.5tbsp of oatmeal cereal twice a day by spoon. I started when he was about 6 weeks. He has awful reflux just like my daughter did. Did the same with her and she is 9 now and happy and healthy as can be.... and no allergies. :) it really depends on what you and the doc are comfortable with.

Answer

I started to give my son rice cereal at 2 weeks in his bottle
