well, research all you can.
thickening is fairly old-fashioned & can stress out an already sensitive and immature digestive system
try not thickening…the alimentum is for tummy problems, like you said. adding cereal *adds* to tummy problems.
if you find you absolutely MUST thicken, find a product like Gelmix or thick it or simply thick.
the search button located on the upper right-hand corner of the page will help you
use keywords and choose 6 months and OLDER from the drop-down menu.
I don’t mean to sound bossy and a know-it-all. it’s just that i’ve been on this board TEN years now (!) and I do know my stuff…however, there are those who swear by thickening. YOU are the mama! research and make your own educated decisions 🙂
please read through Groupie Intro, if you haven’t already. this has links to lots of info to help you.
so glad you found us!

It’s looOong but TRULY will help you-
read through it, refer back to it, scroll through it/skim through it.
You’ll find yourself coming back to it!
