At Levi's 4 month doctor visit the doctor told us that we could start giving him cereal mixed with breast milk to help him sleep through the night. He also said that there is really no other reason to give him the cereal except to help him sleep; he has been gaining weight and had already doubled his birth weight at four months. So, we tried it and he woke up four times each night. I tried for three nights with same result so we stopped and decided to try again later.
Now, three weeks later we have tried again. It is really not helping him sleep any but I want him to learn to use a spoon before we start real food. So far he is doing great! He has learned to eat from the spoon and a sippy cup. We give him the cereal while we eat supper so we are all eating together!! :)
A few pictures from the first successful "supper" together...
