bottle Feeding

Okay, my son will eat the cereal/rice milk mixture from a spoon without a problem. My daughter will eat about 4-5 spoonfuls and then stop and want her bottle. Is there a type of bottle on the market that I can use for my daughter so she can eat the cereal/oatmeal milk combo that way? Do i just have to take a bottle and cut a bigger hole in the nipple? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

My twins didn't like cereal at first...

I gave them veg & fruit for a whole and then tried cereal again...now they both love it...

They don't suggest doing cereal from a bottle for a number of reasons so my only advice is to keep trying. Every baby is so different and they will all do things on their own time. Maybe try a very smooth vegetable (sweet potatoes or peas) and see if myabe she just doesn't like the taste or texture of the cereal. You could also try mixing in a little fruit with the cereal to sweeten it up.
Now, with that being said, we did poke holes in a nipple to feed cereal from a bottle. You really aren't supposed to so doing so goes against doctors suggestions. But one of our boys wasn't eating well and was waking up a lot at night so we wanted to try something.
