Q: Rice Cereal Question
asked by: OctoberBaby06 on January 26th, 2007

Kaylee is doing *perfect* on her cereal eating it by spoon, but I was just wondering, do I try to get her to eat that plus her formula at every feeding or should her eating cereal only be like a breakfast, lunch & dinner thing?

According to *.Oni's* dr, she needs the cereal plus formula. She should have the formula no less than 4 times a day(for nutritional value).

I'm not sure how her Dr. Is about clear fluids, but .Oni get's no less than 8oz of water per day.

What I do with .Alyvia is, I feed her rice cereal at certain times of the day, and nurse her on demand at all other times. So if she still acts hungry a half hour after the cereal, I pop her onto the boob. I'm not sure about bottles though.

Yall...Be very careful with rice cereal. It *will* constipate them.

Oni started off on oatmeal cereal, and is now on .Mixed grain. It keeps her poop a nice soft texture. Not little pebbles.

Her doc told me that water is fine if I wanted to give it to her ... I've only ever given her water a couple times tho.


This cereal thing is all new for me so if I get annoying asking you all a thousand questions just let me know!!

kaylee's poops & farts are the raunchiest i've ever smelled lol. I think she takes after her daddy in that department... & it probably doesn't help that she's on similac alimentum which smells .R.O.T.T.E.N!!

Lol...It might not constipate, but a for sure sign of constipation is steady pushing and producing nothing but a small pebble.

You would think they'd have a diaper full and all you get is a rock. If you look at the anus, you'll be able to see the rest of the poop still inside.

Not all babies are identical sarah.
No, it doesnt constipate my son. Oatmeal gives him the runs.
