Rice?

Question

Has anyone put rice into their babies bottle to help them sleep longer? Pediatrician recommended it, but I have heard it doesn’t make a difference?

Answer

I can’t believe your ped. recommended that.... I would seek a new doctor immediately. 
This is strongly advised against because of it being a choking hazard.

Answer

It doesn’t make them sleep longer (scientifically proven).  In fact, it can make them sleep worse if they are too young for solids because their bellies aren’t ready and it can hurt their tummies. I’m surprised at your pedi’s recommendations.

Answer

It doesnt make a difference and nothing should go in a bottle besides BM or formula because it's a choking hazard

Answer

I’m honestly surprised that your paediatrician recommended that because I heard about it with my first and when I looked into it more everything I read said that it was a choking hazard and not to do it and I also read that when they did studies on babies who were given rice in their bottle there was no differences in the length of time they slept but I didn’t try it myself so I’m not sure that’s just what I’ve read.

Answer

It's a choking hazard and it doesn't necessarily make your baby sleep longer.

Answer

My son has been on rice cereal since 3 months but that's for reflux..not to help sleeping so idk.

Answer

Slow down.... Docs recommend oatmeal in bottles for babies based on their situation all the time. If can be dangerous,  but there are proper ways to do it. With that being said, oatmeal is a better fit than rice as a first.  .but there is no nutrition it either. If its something you want to try, get clairification from the docs on the ratios.

Answer

They’re not supposed to actually sleep longer at that point... everything I’ve heard says not to, but if your pediatrician is recommending it maybe it is their suggestion for your child
