Mix the rice with either b___stmilk or formula and definitely feed her the milk following the cereal. One tbs of cereal is not the same as a bottle of milk. She will be hungry. As she is growing, she will need a greater volume of food which means you can give cereal in addition to her normal volume of milk. How fun!! I can't wait to do the same with my baby.

I agree with everything E said. I would just like to add, do NOT give your baby cereal in a bottle, and for first fruits and veggies it's usually better to give veggies, like carrots or squash first instead of applesauce because your baby may prefer the sweet taste and reject veggies when you finally introduce them.

Hi N - Just wondering why you are not supposed to add the rice to a bottle? I did not mean for angela to do that in this case, just to mix the cereal with milk, rather than water. Our ped told us to add rice to Aja's bottle to stop his reflux, but this was when he was 1 month old.

E, I think it's b/c it will give them a false sense of fullness. They will not drink as much milk and I think I heard it can lead to overeating later in life.

Next, when the dr. says OK, you can give banana, avacado, sweet pot., carrot, peas. Wait 4 days before introducing a new food just in case of allergies.

my son loved to have his rice cereal mixed with applesause or juice, when it was ok to start giving juice, of course. just food for thought.
