I think that he is going to love when he starts other food. I like our doctor, she said start when we are ready, not at a certain age. </p> <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I don't want to mix too much since I'm mixing with breast milk and I don't like pumping, so I don't want to waste.</p> <p>Guess I will just play it by ear. Thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rice-cereal-how-much#post-973115 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:21:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 973115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start with a tiny but to see how he likes it. I pour formula and the bottom of a small bowl then sprinkle on some rice cereal. My lo hates it and doesn't really eat any so I don't need much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rice-cereal-how-much#post-973105 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:18:16 +0000 Crisark 973105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A will be 4 months next week and she's been taking cereal from a spoon for almost a week now and loves it.<br /> I don't really measure the amount of the cereal. I shake some in and add a scoop of formula powder and then nursery water.<br /> She just loves it. I started a bit early because she was ready. This is my 3rd kid, I'm not too concerned with waiting for the doctors to approve every little thing. I follow my babies lead.<br /> If you think your LO is hungry more and formula or breastmilk isn't keeping him full you could offer cereal a couple times. It's whenever you feel it's time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rice-cereal-how-much#post-973090 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:14:54 +0000 ALV91711 973090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is just over 4 months. We were going to wait until 6 months and do BLW. But he seemed so interested in eating I decided to start with cereal. The last two nights I made up small amounts just to try. He loved it and gobbled it up. </p> <p>So now I'm wondering how much I should be offering him? And then how long until I offer more times a day? </p>
