Oatmeal cereal

[nramos221]

Hi Ladies,
My son is 5 months old. I started him on rice cereal @  4 months. He isn't very fond of it. A friend of mine told me to give him oatmeal especially @ night. It supposedly keeps his belly fully longer.
My question is...How much should I give him? Also when did your little one start sleeping through the night??

I never gave my daughter rice cereal. She never liked it so i gave her oatmeal the whole time and i gave her just as much as i did with the rice cereal. And she started sleeping through the night at 4 months but she is teething bad now so she wakes up 2 or 3 times now.

my little boy is 6 months and he didnt like the cereal either. but i put it in his bottle. and he likes it like that. my little one has always slept through the night. he was 10.1 lbs when he was born so he always ate enough to hold him through the night.
