Tommy and I decided, when Drew was around 12 weeks old, that we'd try to get him started on some cereal at night. His reflux was so bad, that we just felt he needed something else in his tummy to keep it down. He was already sleeping through the night, so this would only help things, hopefully.
He didn't know what to think of this new "stuff" in his little mouth! And unlike his sister, he mostly pushed it all out. Addie would eat anything and everything!
But we persisted, and now, a month later, he still isn't wild about it!
But we persist. Little man can certainly use the calories, and it's helped with his constipation issues, believe it or not (we did oatmeal, not rice, since rice is so constipating). I'm sure his GI doctor won't believe that! (Let me explain here that Drew all but quit pooping entirely on his own, sending us to the ped week after week, having a rectal exam - poor guy!, an x-ray, and finally a referral to a peds GI. We still aren't out of the woods, but are better off than we were!)
And finally, when we are all done, we are rewarded with a nice warm bottle of the good stuff!
