No it doesnt

They get plenty of iron from formula. Babies do need fat, but healthy fats, not carbs that put on excess fat. Veggies and fruits are a much better option. I'm not am saying you were wrong, I even gave my son cereal until I learned how pointless it was. Using it to make diaper changes easier on you, ehh not a great reason.

Quoting Squeaky McGee [18 wks]:" Well, hopefully she doesn't listen to you.   Uncalled for? Yes. But at least the rest of us have done our research."

i wasn't even suggesting she give it to her child? i was just telling her i wouldn't use it unless her child has acid reflux. i don't know her, so how was i suppose to know if her kid has it or not? chill out lol.

Quoting Sarah Bare-ah♡:" No it doesnt"

Agreed.

I was told by a board certified lactation consultant that that's a myth. Their bodies don't even produce the digestive enzymes that process starch until around 6 months, so it just goes right through them.

Ooh Good response!! Just cause you wanted to, not because you have any facts backing it up or real advice to offer other than your own experience with a REFLUX baby. You got me!

seriously, calm down... no need to fuss over this. i was just giving her my personal experience... i never said "yes give your baby rice cereal!!" i hope she listens to what you ladies told her, and doesn't give her baby rice cereal until the appropriate age(:

Then why did you give that advice. Your whole post basically indicated that it wasn't a choking hazard (it is regardless of how thick it is) and that if it was ok for your kid then it probably wouldnt hurt hers. Thats how you came across.

Meh She's just hoppin' on our bandwagon of TRUTH

wrong its synthetic iron and doesn't absorb as well as natural iron found in breastmilk and normal unfortified foods. it can cause iron eating bacteria to grow in the belly and cause stomach issues.

even my 70 year old pedi is on that boat. he said look their brains are growing so fast they need to wake up often and take in more calories for brain growth. filling them with empty calories to fill them up longer is bad.

Omg your avi lol.
