I don't know if I buy everything that the American Acadamy of Pediatrics puts out, but this info seems to be widely accepted by many organizations.
Again, not judging but just sharing the info that I have used to make my decision :)
I was told by our dr. to start solids at 4 months.
it isn't just because of obesity...there are many reasons they don't recommend it including the fact that it fills their stomachs up with something that has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever....and waiting decreases chances of having allergies to it in the future. Young tummies under 4 months are not meant to handle that in their bellies
With that said, I wouldn't do it. . .but I know lots of people who have
just to add.....doctors don't recommend cereal at all anymore because of the low nutritional factor in it
I wasn't able to establish a supply due to a surgery I had and so he's bottlefed! Sad, I know, but it's life!
Cross our fingers this helps, I really don't want to be pumping meds into him yet...
Crossing my fingers so we don't have to move to meds at his next appointment.
if you're giving it to him solely because of acid reflux and no other reason then i can completely understand the need for it, and in those cases it is recommendd by most doctors to put cereal in the bottle to help
In the case of reflux, I probably would try cereal before meds too. I'm not too keen on putting anything but milk in my little baby, but it seems like cereal would be a more natural thing than medications. I hope it works for you guys! Are you spoon feeding or putting it in his bottle? It's so cute to see them with their messy faces when spoon feeding so that's one more reason I totally don't blame you for starting cereal :)
We had to give it to our son even though I didn't want to when he had RSV because he was vomiting due to his cough.
So far the puking is minimal...crossing my fingers it stays this way! We're only giving it a couple times a day, so not too often.
