Starting my baby on solids and he's not enjoying rice cereal at all. Can I put some in his milk bottle to get him used to the taste?

Please do NOT mix cereal in your baby's milk bottle. If you want to, mix some breastmilk or formula and cereal in a bowl and feed him with a spoon. This is because babies have been known to aspirate cereal because they are not used to drinking anything other than milk through their bottles. If you want to experiment with solids, try getting a food feeder which lets baby gnaw and chew on the food through silicone or mesh. - Munchkin food feeder (available in mesh or silicone) http://www.pupsikstudio.com/munchkin-fresh-food-feeder.html http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/tipcerealinbottle.htm
