Q: When can I give her cereal?

Jayden's 5 weeks old and 4 oz doesn't fill her up anymore... I'm thinking about mixing in a bit of cereal, but Jacobs mom doesn't remember how old her kids were when she started. What age is okay to start?

I have read that a lot of doctors don't recommend it. I was told by the doctor with Chyanne, and this one to not to have cereal until they are 4 months old. Now whether anyone follows that i don't know lol. But it's hard for them to digest, and they could choke. I would say 2 1/2-3 months at the earliest, but that's just what i'm going to do.

Yeah, I would give her more formula. Holly is right about doctors not recommending giving cereal so early. Some do and some don't. Ask your ped and see what he/she thinks.
We waited until 4 months when we got the ok from our ped.

Go with more formula, NOT cereal.
