Usually doctors dont want you to start
solids any earlier than 4 months, and they
prefer that you wait until 6 months. In
josh's case it was different, because he
is such a big boy and he wasnt getting
everything he needed from formula. I
would wait and ask your doctor but they
will probably say no. In general, your
baby is supposed to have doubled their
birth weight, be able to sit with support,
and have lost the tongue thrust reflex.
And by 3 months, josh had accomplished all
that. But I don't think jaydyn has
doubled her weight, i'm not sure about the
other two. And you wanna know a little
secret? Cereal really doesn't keep them
full that much longer. And it doesn't
help them sleep through the night. Josh
still has 6-7 bottles a day plus his
cereal, fruits, and veggies. So just ask
your doc! She may want to evaluate jaydyn
a bit at her next appt before she says ok.
We started kaitlyn at 3 months. Not in
her bottle though. Spoon fed. Took a lil
while, but she got the hang of it. It's
alright. Go on ahead.

I say ask your doc, and go ahead and mix
some in the bottle. Dont spoon feed her
yet. Just mix a little in her feedings
(bottle) so she can get full faster.
Docs say that it causes kids to have
allergies. Which is caca. Mix a lil in
the bottle.... Well that is your
preference. But I don't believe in doing
it the quick and easy way, unless you have
to. Spoon feed that child. Maybe not
at 2 months, but by 3 or 3 1/2 months....
She can handle it. Kaitlyn did! And
feeding her cereal made her sleep a lot
longer than just when she was bottle fed.
