Rice Cereal

The doctor told me not to start Elise on rice cereal until she is eating better. Rice cereal will take up valuable real estate but she said it can help her with her spitting up. She recommended trying a little bit only after she has eaten a good meal. Well yesterday we decided to try it as Elise actually ate pretty well at school. We get home, I give her a tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with formula.. she loved it. Then proceeded to eat 6 ounces with barely any spitup. Then she promptly fell asleep from 8-5. Hm. that is the most she has eaten in one sitting almost since she was born. I think she ate 6.5 ounces once but the spit some of it back up. Maybe Elise just needs a little grounding in the belly before she eats. We tried it this morning too. Right now she is napping after her little tummy got full on 5 ounces! Might be having her eat some cereal everyday if this keeps up!
