Rice=Sleep

Who ever said rice cereal makes your child sleep through the night has not met Jordan. I total thought once we started feeding him rice cereal in the morning and at night he would sleep more than 6 hours. I thought WRONG!!!!! He is so gassy. Before Sunday I had never hear him cry more then 4 minutes then Sunday night I only got 4 hours of sleep TOTAL!!! After I called my sister for a bit of advice he was better last night but he is still only sleeping 6 hours at a time.

Any advice? Please send it my way.

I wish I could help... My little man has always been a night owl. I am more of a morning person and Steven is a night owl, Stevens mom had said he was the only of her 5 children that never slept much... We tried so many things and still do but it seems like his time clock is somewhat genetic too! I would see how you guys were when you were babies ask your mommas! I was surprised to learn my husband never slept!

My son was the same way and the
cereal did help him sleep through
the night, he is 22 now and still
eats like a horse but my mother in
law told me to put a pinch of Karo
syrup in it. It worked, he never
got gassy. Hope that helps.

Sorry to hear that Chas! Same thing over here though, I thought the same thing, once we started cereal he would sleep more=Nope. Then I said after solids=Nope! He's not much of a sleeper, and I don't understand why because I LLLOOVVVEEEE to sleep! Must get it from Joey because he doesn't require much sleep to function at all. I tried putting him down later in the evening to see if he'll sleep in, but Nope, he's up at 6:30 Sharp every single morning. Rain, Shine, 9 hours of sleep or 4 hours of sleep.
Hang in there!!! :)
