INCREASING FORMULA CALORIES

1 ADDING RICE CEREAL

your infant should meet certain developmental milestones before you introduce cereal.
Your infant should be able to sit with support, have head and neck control, push up with
elbows from a lying position, place hands or toys in his or her mouth, and lean forward
and open his or mouth when hungry or interested in food. If your child is 6 months of
age, but has not met these milestones, you may need to delay the introduction of rice
cereal.[6]
 Waiting for these milestones is important. They help ensure that your infant can
safely swallow the rice cereal.
 Infants also have an extrusion reflex that causes them to raise their tongue and
push against objects that are placed between their lips. This reflex is usually gone by 4
to 6 months of age. Trying to spoon feed your child cereal with this reflex can be
frustrating and difficult.
