My mom recently told me that if I put cereal in Haylei's formula then then she'll sleep through the night. I'm actually breastfeeding but my mom said that if I just gave her a cereal formula combintion before I put her down to bed then she'd not wake up during the night. I was wondering if any of you ladies have tried this? did if work?

Babies wake in the night. It's normal. Many older generations swear their kids slept through the night at 2 weeks or something. LOL! No way. Some babies wake a lot, others sleep more. They are all different just as we are. If you are breastfeeding, the best thing you can do is feed on demand and baby will be happy.
Sorry if you're not getting enough sleep! Can baby sleep with or near you? Then maybe it wont be so bad at night?
Hope things go better for you.

You can try a co-sleeper and that might work well. They are a bit more expensive than a bassinet, but they will last longer as they are bigger.
Girlfriend, babies do not sleep through the night at one month old. I really doubt that the people who say that their babies slept through the night this young are true. Once in a long while you get a baby who sleeps well from the get go, but they are the exception, not the rule. Catch a nap when you can in the daytime and forget the housework. Get your husband, friend, mother or a cleaning woman to help for a while.
At 6 months or so, when you are already introducing other foods, then I might try it. But now she is way too young for that.
Thought I might throw my $.02 in here. I have three kids~ all of which have blessedly slept thru the night starting at about 6 weeks. My 1st DS had reflux so we were told to put a little cereal in his formula. It helped with the reflux but did make him constipated and very unhappy. I gave my baby cereal starting at about 2.5 months~ but he has always been formula fed~ I wouldn't do it to a BF baby.
HTH!
