Thinking of you Spencer! Group: Members Posts: 12,708 Member No.: 156 Joined: 4-May 03	Ever since Breanna was 2 months ol she slept through the night. She would go down at 8pm and sleep till 7am. But recently for the past 3 days ( she will be 4 months on the 19th) she wakes int he night hungry. She would down 8 oz and then go back to sleep. Could it be a growth spurt or do you think she is ready for pablum? --------------------

she did wake up every 5 hours from birth till 2 months for feedings at night. but then from 2 months till now she has been sleeping through teh night for 10-12 hours. Now she wakes up hungry around 300am every morning for milk

I'm personally against the whole cereal thing, especially at that age, but everyone must do what is right for them.

Out of curiosity, what kind of problems? We're a few months off from that, I'm just wondering.

It can be unsafe to add the cereal to the bottles for fear of chockinga nd such and if given to early it can cause or some people says allergies etc etc etc. Some do it as early as a few weeks and such and have no problems. I guess it just depends on the person and thier beliefs.
