Adding cereal to a baby’s bottle is a habit that’s been around for a long time to help introduce solid foods while also supplementing a mom’s breast milk.
But this practice can cause babies to pack on some pounds early in life, however, a new study says.
Infants were about 50% more likely to experience rapid weight gain if they were fed milk cereal drinks during their first year, according to results published Dec. 18 in the journal Acta Paediatrica.
