A member asked:
Can i put cereal in formula, and how much cereal for a 5 month old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ?????: Cereal does not improve the nutrition value of formula & many studies show it has no consistent effect on sleep. If you feel its time for cereal, then its time to make up a paste, get out a spoon & use it to teach baby a new method of feeding.
