Venting. Sorry. <|3
So, I've been adviced to give my son cereal since he was 2 weeks old. And I'm on this mommy group on Facebook. And all of them bashed me on it, I have no idea why. I wasn't technically asking an opinion.I was happy cause my son ate off a spoon for the first time. He is 2 months old. So we've been giving him the cereal for awhile now, and I have no idea why all these people are telling me I'm clueless and shit. Like seriously? I wasn't adviced by his doctor to give him cereal, the hospital told us to start him on cereal. Like, seriously? And if you have a child, you know it's impossible to give them cereal with a bottle, I really don't care what other mothers have to say. I just don't like the critism. And I don't like how people are telling me that I'm doing wrong because I'm giving my child Cereal, A doctor told me too. So, it's whatever.
But some people, need to back off. I simply asked a question when to give them first foods. I didn't give my son first foods, I was just wondering. And all these people jumped down my back. Like back off. >.<
And, for one , I'm the kind of person who will go with what I want and what's best for my son. I don't listen to his doctor. If I have a question I call Texas Children's Hospital.
It's okay though. Cause' they are more up to date than the doctor is. And the doctor is from India. So, I find her dumb. She told me that Deklan can't have nightmares. Lies. >.< I hear him screaming in his sleep.
Anyway, I give my son Juice *More water than juice* and I give him cereal .
The juice, he has to take, because that's the only way he will take ALL of his medicines.
He has to take one up until he is about 1 year old. Because he had surgery at 3 weeks old.
So the only way to make sure he gets all of it is juice or sugar water (Notes from the hospital. Even on the release form) And cereal, because when we went to our second trip to the hospital. He stopped eating and would only eat once or twice a day, so they told us cereal twice a day, and just to continue from there on out. (he was 2 weeks old.) So we give it to him at night and the morning. At first we only did nights, to build it up, and than started mornings, because he was going through 3 cans a week.
Venting. Sorry.
