A member asked:
Can u give a 5 week old baby cereal mixed in with formula night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ?: Thickened formula is occasionally used as a treatment of reflux. It does not help a baby sleep longer.In fact, any feeding just prior to sleep trains a kid to need feeding to settle to sleep any time they awaken at night and increases the risk of a long term sleep disturbance by 400%.
