Any1 put baby rice/porridge in bottle, If so how much ??

[thedog]

Ok can you just clear things up, confused now, why are you wanting to put rice in the bottle in the first place, reflux? Can you not just put it on a spoon? Or is it to fill baby up before bed?
Popping in my two cents (though i'm from the UK so i guess i should say pence) LO is 10month, eats like a horse, and has never slept through, always has a bottle or 3 at night.
Also many find weaning doesn't improve reflux, instead you just get cloggy sick, that what it was like with us anyway, i'd rather milk be puked up than food..

Without trying to cause an argument or to offend anyone who is a medical professional, not EVERY GP/MW/HV/Doctor/Surgeon/Nurse is always right. A few examples; my dads friend had bowel problems for many years but wouldn't have surgery as he was afraid something would go wrong, he had no option later on in life and went privately and ended up dying as a result of the surgeon nicking his bowel during the surgery. I was left for over 10 weeks with leaking waters, sent home so many times I lost count, and ended up having low amniotic fluid and a grade 3 placenta when I finally demanded a consultant, and Odhrán had an infection due to the sac being ripped for so long. My friend had to undergo treatment for early stages of cancer because her abnormal smear hadn't been followed up as it should have been. I know this is off topic, but I feel I have to put it out there. Just because your doctor says so, in this case putting rice in a bottle, doesn't mean it's right, do your research and make sure you know what the risks are xx

I agree. Always question your GP, Doctor, Pediatrician. You want to find a doctor close to your personal views but you wont agree on everything. If my daughters pediatrician told me to put rice in Emily's bottle I wouldn't do it. I know the hazards, it is out of the question but she is a great pediatrician so I wouldn't ditch her.

If you feel uncomfortable with your Doctor then ofcourse, you need a new one but always research it!.

My MIL raised all of her kids with rice in bottles, that was another time, research has gotten better and more clear.

OP actually admitted her GP didn't tell her to put the rice in the bottle, she was advised to use a spoon. She decided all by herself to put the rice in a bottle.

i would maybe call you Hv for advice- putting anything other than baby's milk in a bottle is a huge choking hazard- rice and porridge are solid foods and your LO might be a little young for them to digest and filter etc????- maybe your HV might reccommend hungry milk as it stays in the tummy longer?

Didnt know there was anything to admit. Getting quite sick of people being bitchy. If you don't like the post then don't comment. Well done me, how clever to decide something all by myself or should i go run for a book like most on here!

Get a grip people! A question was asked. Like i said DON'T ANSWER IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION! SIMPLE!

It really isn't that hard to understand. I didn't ask for anyones opinion. So for all them bored mother out there typing up essays for me theres really no need as they aren't appreciated so keep them to yourselves!

Feel free to carry on bitching amongst eachother. Probably for some of you its the only conversation you'll have for the day by the sounds of it!

 

[Miss_Bump]

Rude much? People are only trying to help.

I'm out.

ETA- and all the 'bored mothers writing essays' have an outstanding WEALTH of knowledge on weaning (something your cleary lacking) and no doubt inna few months you will be posing in this section again asking us for help with a different weaning question

People are trying to help you and your baby, no need to be so rude over something so dangerous. Seriously, its an open forum, you are going to get lots of posts, you should appreciate that people care so much to write up big essays to show you the dangers.

My mum recomended putting a rusk through my LOs milk as he has been very hungry in the last week or so (poss growth spurt?) but i just increased the amount of formula

 

[bigbetty]

Just want to know if anyone has put baby rice in LO's bottle.

This is a quote from your original post. You asked whether people had done it. Most people are simply saying "no I haven't" and giving valid reasons why not. In my eyes this is answering your question.

The fact that you don't like these answers is no-ones problem but your own and I think your attitude is abhorrent.

On the other hand I also think the way some of the replies have been worded were a little harsh and this whole thread has become a complete farce.

We are all adults, we are all mothers and we all care about our children please let's start acting like it.

Wish there was a '2 thanks' button for this

BnB please hurry and close my account like I asked. I just popped on to see if it was closed and thought id read a few threads. I am so glad that I am getting it closed as the bitchyness is too much. We all make different decisions but again the perfect mothers have to get on their high horses and turn the thread into a nasty debate.
She only wanted to know if anyone has done it and how much, there is risks as im sure she is aware of but she has made the decision to try it with her child. So many mothers take risks with their children including co-sleeping etc etc, but it is their decision and I would never make anyone feel like shit for it.


I am soooo done with Bnb now but must admit I have alot of good advice. This parenting section has been the worse so far for me as it has constantly had me thinking am I doing the right thing for my child because the perfect mothers dont agree.

From now on im doing things my way so BnB please close my account.

 

[holidaysan]

I think ill be doing the same thing. Don't see the point of having an account as i will NEVER be asking for advice on here again. The way most of the mothers replied on here has made me feel like I'm getting accused of not caring about my baby and I'm doing something i know will harm him. They do come across like they are all perfect and better than us. I didn't need a lecture. Just answers from people who have tried it. I will admit I've also had some great advice while i was pregnant and talked to a lot of nice ladies ! But think ill go this stage alone. Better than being criticised for anything i do or will do different than others!

Co sleeping is actually VERY safe and helps to reduced SIDS compared to a baby sleeping alone.

Nobody is claiming to be a perfect mother. It's just that the act of putting rice in a bottle is potentially dangerous, and quite rightly, people are just trying to warn OP. It used to be common practice, and of course people still do it, but I do believe that many people don't realise it can be dangerous, so a warning is good. This forum can be seen by anybody, so if just one person reads this advice and takes it on board that's a very good thing IMO. Whether or not OP decides to, is up to her - at the end of the day it's her baby, and she is his mum and will make what she believes are the right decisions for him. I honestly don't believe people are attacking OP, or being bitchy, and I don't think OP's defensiveness has helped make this thread a truly constructive one. I made sarky comments myself, as I was getting frustrated about the way OP was being rude to people contributing to the thread. This thread could go on forever, but the outcome will be the same, it always is...

What you are proposing doing is NOT a parenting choice. We're not talking about deciding whether to breastfeed or bottlefeed, use a pram or a sling, do baby led weaning or traditional weaning. Putting anything in a baby's bottle is downright dangerous and all the 'perfect mothers' are trying to do is protect your baby from a misguided at best, but more likely irresponsible decision by it's mother!

You asked for answers and you've been told it's dangerous and could result in your baby choking. On your own head be it.

fair enough but me personally dont see it as safe but that is me and I would not judge anyone for doing so. That is the point I was trying to make.

 

[summer rain]

Overall the research regarding co sleeping (in a bed, not on a sofa or waterbed) shows it is very safe; I don't think you can compare it to putting cereal in a bottle because that has been proven by research and anecdotal evidence to be very, very dangerous.

We are really steering off topic here but regarding co-sleeping. You may not see co-sleeping as safe because (without sounding rude) you don't know anything about it and how to do it. Neither did I to start with and I too thought it was unsafe until I'd done my research.

The fact that so many members are explaining and warning OP of the dangers of rice in a bottle must make her think.. Hang on, maybe there are other safer ways to do this?

You asked for advise, people gave it you. Be as ungrateful as you want, people cared enough to write you the dangers just so you know what your risking. You want to risk it, go ahead, thats your decision, just dont say that we didnt try and help.
