  2. Sample AAP original message Cereal goes on a spoon instead of in a bottle. • It doesn’t help infants sleep through the night. • Cereal shouldn’t be introduced before 4 months because of the potential to cause food allergies. • Sucking and swallowing actions are not fully coordinated in some babies so there’s a chance of pulmonary problems if the child inhales small amounts of rice cereal. • Babies know how much they need to drink based on volume, so upping the calories in the bottle can cause them to overfeed and become overweight. • Feeding with a spoon teaches infants to learn how to eat from a spoon, and allows the infant to rest in between and learn proper eating habits.
