How to Mix Cereal in a Baby Bottle
When a baby is first introduced to solid food it is usually done through a bottle as a supplement to their normal serving of formula or breast-milk. This helps the baby transition to solid foods without choking or being unable to swallow the new substance in their diet. Mixing cereal in a baby's bottle is easy to do, it just requires careful attention to what you add and how you do it.
