Hmmm...if I read the OP correctly, there looked like a congratulations
for succeeding with breastfeeding (even if it was interspersed with the
ff advice). Do you know if that's true?

I don't know what to tell you - there ought to be some way to challenge
the cereal in the bottle bit without starting a nasty debate. Maybe
something about how all babies react differently, and what works for
one baby may not work for another? Your own (independent) note with
advice to take all advice with a grain of salt? My favorite piece of
advice is to read, but understand that your baby hasn't read the books,
so use what works for you. And/or a reference to kellymom?

Good luck!
