A member asked:
Is it ok to put a little cereal in my almost six weeks boys bottle just at a night feeding ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: Formula is balanced nutrition ; adding cereals to the bottle does not make kids grow better or sleep better. Multiple studies have documented this fact. Feeding too close to bedtime actually increases problems with night waking up to age 3-4.
