So my son is 3 months old,and it dosent
seem like he likes his formula anymore.And
hes drinkin pass 32 oz a day.To you think
its about time to start the cereal? And
he finishes a whole can of formula in 3-4
days
and another thing.When will should he
start eating cereal? And drinking the
juices? Because he could already sit down
if someones helping him and hold up his
neck by himself,stand up when someones
holding 2 of his hands.

Your ped should tell you all this-when you
should start everything, plus there are
plenty of baby books.
Most people start cereal around 4-5
months. They say to start cereal when
your baby can hold their head up well and
when they become interested in the food
you are eating in front of them.
Sometimes they smack their lips.
As for juices, they are almost all sugar
and of almost no nutritional value. Many
pediatricians say not to give juice at
all.

Hi I would defiantley talk to your sons
doctor about it. I wouldn't recommend
juice. My kids have had either cows milk
(my older child who is 17 months) or water
and I refuse to give them anything else.
You may not think it but alot of these
supposed 'baby' drinks have additives in
them that send kids hyper and rots their
teeth. My sister was given ribena which
is a blackcurrant drink aimed at children
and apparently 'tooth kind' and now she
has to go the dentist as one of her front
teeth is going grey.
Also your son is too young to be thinking
about this but fizzy soda drinks are
really bad for any child. It sends them
hyperactive cause of the 'e' numbers in it
and it causes rotting of teeth and is
highly addictive.
I urge no one to give drinks like coca
cola etc to their child. Sorry to go on
about it but its a topic I feel strongly
about.
Xxxxx

Talk to the doc, but even if you do start
cereal (i started when trey waas about 3
months) he still needs his formula. As
for juice it's usually only 6mths+, but
trey does not drink juice either (although
his stupid ass grandmother gave him some
behind my back. doing it b*tch) and
fruits and veggies, should not be started
untill about 1 month after cereal between
4-6 months.

my best friend's parents were foster
parents. They actually got children who
had been taken away from their mothers for
lack of nutrition. The children were
given soda pop in their bottles, had
rotten teeth from it, and kool aid.
Both those things are pure sugar and junk.
Sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity but it
does cause other, numerous health
problems. I hope your sister isn't still
doing this.

mountain dew is a lime drink here with
waaaaaay too much caffeine in it!
I don't know if she still gives it to him
but I told her she needed to stop.Her and
her husband are hard headed and I really
don't think they should be parents at
all.I wish my family could take them away.

I think the reason it send skids hyper is
cause of the amount of caffenine in it.
Kids can't handle it.

Hehe we have dr pepper.. All the products
of the coca-cola company.. Although we
don't call them sodas. I love coke.. But
i'm trying to cut down coz of how sugary
it is. The only time caffeine has had a
major effect on me was when I drank 5 cans
of red bull and 3 bottles of lucozade..
Oh my.. I was buzzzzzzing. Hehe. Never
again =p
