Iszak's 1st cereal

On Sunday, September 28th. We decided to start feeding Iszak rice cereal to help him with being more full when eating. I did call the pediatrician to make sure that it was okay, before I just went on a whim to start. Iszak was fantastic with sleeping through the night at 4 weeks old, then I started back at work.. and that ended Iszak's sleeping ritual. Now he's up anytime between 2 & 3 am to eat. I wasn't getting much sleep, so finally I thought to myself.. he's been extremely fussy and hungry all the time. Like feeding every 2.5 hours round the clock and this is with formula!

Yes, that's right.. Iszak isn't nursing anymore. It came to a point that he didn't like to nurse, because he was so adapted to bottle feeding with me working nights. I'm saddened that nursing ended so quickly, but it did last 3.5 months. So, now we're using what's left from the freezer.

Any how, back to where I was.. I finally decided to call the pediatrician and just about begged for advice on what to do.. such as upping the ounces of milk for Iszak, which I did actually. The kind nurse, said start him on rice cereal either in the mornings or evenings. That way in the evening he'll have a fuller stomach when going to bed, wahoo! Well, that only lasted the one night I was able to feed Iszak.. because Chris doesn't or think he can feed him... practice with Iszak is all that you can do, since he's just learning how to eat it as well. Now, I'm feeding Iszak in the morning. Granted, I do have a little bit more experience with the 3 younger siblings. Parenthood is all brand new to us and it's all that much more fun!

So enjoy the before and after pictures of our little Iszak eating RICE CEREAL!
