Shelby who is 5 months today has been on solids on and off for a few weeks now. It seems that since I started her on cereal she's had trouble sleeping. I started giving her rice and apple sauce for lunch plus BM and oatmeal and apple sauce plus BM for dinner. If I'm still giving her BM or formula do I have to give her cereal? I will be starting a different fruit or veggie tomorrow. Thanks for your help

I only give my little one cereal once a day (for breakfast) with some fruit ... and then fruit and veggie for lunch and dinner.
My mom told me that I don't want to give her cereal with every meal bc it could really "fatten" her up.

No, it's not necessary to give them cereal. They recommend it as a first food because of the extra iron and because it's mild for little tummies, but if you are making sure she gets the iron, you can give your baby fruits and veggies without HAVING to add cereal
