Q: Hi, my baby eats alot and I want to know if I can add alittle cereal to the bottle.

A: You should never add cereal to the bottle.http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/formula/addcerealtobottleexpert/***************FYI: When I noticed my daughter sleeping longer through the night I added just a little more formula in her bottle to sustain her longer, not to make her sleep longer though. I just felt that since she was eating 3 oz every 3 hours, that if she was going to go past 4 or 5 hours that she should have 4 oz.

how do i get my 4 mo old baby to eat cereal?

Q: My pediatrician told me to start my baby on cereal. She said to feed her cereal in the am. and top it off with a bottle. The problem is i have been trying this for 4 days and my daughter screams bloody murder everytime i put the spoon in her mouth. she screams until i give her the bottle. So she is not really eating any cereal. My question is how do I get her to eat from the spoon? Should I try the cereal in between feedings instead of waiting for it to be time for her next bottle?

A: First, you start off with adding 1 tbsp. of rice cereal to the bottle. You may need to increase the size of the nipple from a Stage 1 or level 1, to a 3 or later stage nipple.Gradually increase the amount of the cereal by 1 tbsp on Day 2 and Day 3.There are also cereal feeders and you can get a cereal nipple that opens up bigger for more solid cereal. You eventually can get it to the point where it is like cream of wheat and use the cereal feeder with the cereal nipple. That is the easiest.
