Is it safe for my baby to put baby wipes in his mouth? After he eats (cereal, fruits, veggies, etc.) I hand him a wipe and he wipes his face, playfully cleaning himself. He seems to enjoy ripping and shredding the wipe. However, he sometimes sucks on it, which is what worries me. He hates when I wipe his face either with a wipe or a warm washcloth. What do you use or suggest?

Can I feed my 6 month old the Gerber puffs?




Gerber has these little puff, cereal like pieces. Can I feed those to my 6 month old. It says it’s for crawlers, but just wondering?

According to their site my son, who is 6 months and a supported sitter should have in one day 24oz of formula, 1/4 cup of fruit, 1/4 cup of vegetables and 1/2 cup of cereal. Does that sound right?
I thought is sounded like too much solids myself. Right now he takes anywhere from 36 to 42oz of formula and about 4 tablespoons or so of baby food.

I have a 12 week old little girl, and I was just wondering when everybody started giving there baby’s a little bit of cereal in the bottle? My mom & aunties said they started around 4 months. My little angel just doesn’t seem satisfied with her formula anymore, She’s just eating so much! Sometimes she drinks a 6oz bottle after 6oz bottle and then 2 more oz. Which is a lot of ounces for a 11 and a half pound baby girl. Any advice? Thank you!

In addition to formula and cereal how many gerber jars should an 8 month old eat a day? for the fruits and veggies… also do you like to mix them with the cereal or feed them separately? And as for Gerber meats the jars are alot smaller . How much meat should an 8 month old eat per day? One jar?

When do you begin feeding an infant cereal?




And what kind of cereals are good? My infant is 3 months. My friend said it’s ok by 4 months to give him cereal. Is this true?

Currently my 1 month old is eating 4oz of formula per feeding (every 2-3 hours). I’ve had a few people ask me if I’ve started him on cereal yet….and that made me wonder how young some people start their infant on cereal.
My baby does spit up A LOT lately….

Please read… is about my son………?




so I started him out on breast milk when he was in the hospital. he was preemie. once I took him home I was so tired didn’t have much help and started pumping less, eventually quitting completely. He would never latch on either, just scream. I put him on enfamil enfacare for preemies and he did fine.

when he was about a month old he started getting flim and acidy reflux. he still has it to this day and he is almost 5 months old.

i started feeing him cereal and baby food after christmas and he seemed to be doing fine ready and all

doctor told us his spitting up would get better as he got older and it’s only getting worse…

he said flim is from smoke on my clothes, but i smoke outside
said acid reflux and spitting up he’ll grow out of… well he hasn’t yet.

so i told wicc nurse about spittin up she said try soy so i am trying now. i heard of RA for spitting up babies and acid reflux but was told i have to try soy first…. so far he isn’t doing much better or any different…. so i’m going to take away his cereal and baby food just to see if that might be the problem.

he spits up mostly during his burps and after feedings.. no matter how i lay him or how much or less i feed him.

what do you think could be causing the acid reflux, flim, and constant spittin up??? its not too much spit up just enough to keep changin him…. and did your child do good on soy for spittin up? … also he was never diagnosed with milk allergies or lactose intolerant they told me to try soy just for spitting up… makes sense huh

I was told you start your baby on a stage 2 nipple once they’re drinking cereal b/c it’s thicker than milk! Right now my daughter is only drinking formula and up to 5-6 ounces which her bottles only go up to 5oz.! I want to start using her 9 ounce bottles but they’re stage two niples, is it ok?

My son is almost 6 months old and he gets 3 jars a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with his formula in between and a cereal bottle at night. When should i start giving him less formula and 2 jars of baby food for lunch and dinner?
He is starting to get to where he wont take the formula as much because he likes the baby food better.
