Y'all are ruining forever's thread. Go start your own to argue that crap

I was advising against putting formula in a bottle because it can cause choking and aspirating. A baby should not have solids until 4-6 months when it has developed a thrust reflex and they should be given from a spoon. This isn't new. It was the case 16 years ago when my child was a baby

It is also proven to not extend duration of sleep. And it's empty calories that can lead to obesity and are never really necessary, the same way adults should choose more nutritious foods over carbs

People have been putting thickening agents in food for decades to reduce aspiration.

My oldest son was born with esophageal atresia with a TEF and we were mandated to use rice to reduce damage from reflux.

He never slept a wink.

Perfectly healthy with zero future interventions ( they prepared us for enteral tube feeds and lifelong management) and just scored the highest first grade reading score in the Parish.

I have one that was 2 years after that, from the breast only...he may too dumb to come in from the rain.
