OK im probably gonna get alot of people upset on this one as well..

BUT everyone as there opions and this is mine.

I have 3 older sisters and 8 Neices and Nephews and they were all feed as early as 1 day old to 1 Month Old on Rice Cereal and they are PERFECTLY HEALTHL!!!!!!!

Well I just had my first child in November and I was giving him NOTHING but BREAST for the first 3 weeks and then I had to stop BF becuase he stopped latching and wasn't eating so I had to pump and give him bottles well I got him to lacth again and he still didnt do as great as he did (I didnt have anyone showing me my family lives so far away and the hosiptal didn't show me at all so I was on my own at this point) Well I would nurse him for 45 min and he would do really great on latching on well when he stopped he was still hungry so I tried the breast again and he didn't want Doctor said he was still hungry so give him a bottle and he drank another 2 oz.

SO then I started Bottle feeding because I wasn't producing enough milk for my little one to eat. Well he was eating a 8oz Bottle and wanting more now this is at 3 1/2 weeks old. Doctor said he shouldn't be eating that much so we tried a differnt fomula and he went to 6 oz but still at times wanting more. At this point my doctor said to try putting a little bit of Rice Cereal in one of the afternoon bottles and that helped alot he was now down to 4 oz and sometimes not even eating the 4oz all the time. So I agree it really depends on the BABY.

Forgot to mention my oldest neice is 14 and the youngest is 4 and there all healthy.

Also he never spits anything up. Ive even started spoon feeding him as well and he's doing great at it. Also he already started cutting a tooth as well.

SORRY SO LONG
