April 2007 Expecting Club

I am just curious when you start feeding cereal to your little one & how did you decide to start feeding it?

Aryanna is 6 weeks old & my husband is insistant that we start feeding her cereal at night. I'm worried about this, because my husband has food allergies. I don't want Aryanna to have these also. He wants to feed her cereal in her bottle at night to help her sleep through the night before I go back to work in 2 weeks. Our pediatrician has recommended against it & my husband knows this, however he is still insistent on it.

Aryanna only gets up about once a night after her last feeding around 11 pm. The past couple nights she has been a little harder to put to sleep. She is fighting it & wants to stay up. But once she's out, she's out.

Please share your experiences & decisions!

Thanks,

Katy

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!

you shouldn't be feeding any king of solid till at least 4 months they actually reccomend 6 months now.. but i know some babies are ready at 4. 6 weeks is WAY WAY to early and you could do more harm then good.

I agree with Lisa, unless your 6 week old baby is the size of 4 to 6 month old, I would hold off till then. Plus giving them cereal won't nesessarly make them sleep thru the night.
