I still question the adding of cereal. My ds was a preemie and we added calorie (and nurtrient rich) formula to increase the calories, per the NICU specialists guidelines.

Absolutely agree !! Actually when this all first started, I posted questioning the addition of cereal. I don't agree with it. I think the better option would be to increase feeding intervals or amounts. To me the cereal is counterproductive as a "filler food", it will fill him up while providing less calories - or even worse fill him up and he will stop drinking the bottle only a few ounces in, therefore consuming less formula.

I would request the formula to be made at your house. This is why I supply baby food and milk (not formula) I had a mom who would send goats milk in dirty bottles and couldn't figure out why her kid kept throwing up.
