My baby is 2 months old and it seems she never get enough formula!!
And what do they give the baby as supplement?? I heard some kind of cereal powder??



Answer
Babies should not be given anything other than breastmilk or formula until they are between 4-6 months old. Do *not* give a newborn (any baby under 3 months) anything else! It may seen like she doesn't get enough, but she's growing at an insane rate at the moment, especially if she's in a major growth spurt, so just keep giving her formula, however much she needs. (Newborns do *not* overeat.) The reason why newborns shouldn't get food is because they have very new and very fragile digestive systems that aren't ready to break down big food particles yet and forcing them to could cause harm. Besides, rice cereal is just empty calories that do not offer any nutritional value. Lots of formula, though expensive, is much better.
