Rusk in bottle

[user1486273640]

How do I add the rusk in the bottle ? Do I add the rusk in with the powder then add a little water and melt them then add more water ? Or do I just full the water all the way to the top then shake ? What's the ways some of you guys have done it :)

Go back and ask your doctor how to do it. She/he advised it so should give instructions.

Every other health professional (and parent) will tell you not to do this so if your doctor is saying to do it then he/she needs to give specific instructions.

Oh because I am not at the doctors now am I ? Other wise I would of asked that please how is that's relevant to my question ?

I'm sure lots of people have done it historically. I'm also sure that lots of people used to put alcohol in baby's bottles too. It doesn't make it any less unsafe. Please seek better medical advice.

Errr name change fail? -Sockpuppet-

She said shake one up in her bottle

If your doc has suggested adding it to milk perhaps they mean as you would a cereal in a bowl with a spoon and not in a bottle which would be dangerous.

No point getting arsey with people pointing out a danger OP because you'll struggle to find many who've done something so daft.

What has a name change got to do with my question? Unbelievable... I seriously don't want to hear everything that you guys are saying I'm asking how... for the people who HAVE.

No I'm not getting arsey my daughter is underweight and I've been advised to do something and I'm doing it ... so I don't want opinions or telling me what to do or what not to do

Well it sounds like she told you what to do then, if she told you to put it in the bottle and shake it (please don't actually do this though!).

I would advise asking for a second opinion and seeing a different doctor. I am amazed that any UK based doctor would tell you to do that. Is it a GP or a specialist?

If you don't want us to tell you what to do or what not to do then why are you asking? Because we'll only tell you what to do or what not to do!

This is what the doctor has said "shake a rusk up with her milk each time feed her regularly every 30 mins try and give her something let her rest well lots of water and vegetables mashed up and finger foods then come back in two weeks and if she hasn't put on any weight we will have to go into examination" so I am doing what the doctors have said no one is being arsey I know what I heard and I'm doing as I am told so I am here asking for the people who HAVE done this as stated several times above ... I didn't come here for opinions or parenting advice I came here for my answer to my question and that was all

No I'm not asking for people to tell me some of the ways they have added rusk into a bottle if you have skip the thread and go on comment on one you can ACTUALLY relate to

Of course we are going to want to advise you against risky practices, same as if you were asking how to put your baby in a car without a car seat. It may not be the advice you want, but it's the advice you need.

In case you don't want to take our word for it on thickened milk being a choking hazard, here's an article by a health professional on a well known child focussed website: www.babycenter.com.my/x554980/my-baby-seems-hungry-can-i-add-cereal-or-rusk-to-his-bottle

It's a specialist her doctor referred her to as she isn't putting weight on

I'm sure a 8month old baby can handle thick milk ... it's not as if I'm trying to make her drink porridge

That web link ... isn't for my child my child is older ... she is 8months old not under 6months

Yeah you aren't going to get any advice on how to do it here because most people haven't done it. It's not safe and terribly old fashioned. Even people who possibly DID do it in the 70's would probably recognise it's dangerous.
Instead of getting defensive and blindly following very old fashioned medical advice I would get a second opinion OP.

Are you in America by any chance?

People are trying to tell you it's dangerous - it's a choking hazard. You don't seem too worried about that which I find odd.

You haven't read the link properly. The part about being under 6 months relates to giving milk only. I was referring to the paragraph lower down about thickened milk being a choking hazard. That is not age specific.

To quote: "Another thing to bear in mind, is that cereal in his bottle will make the milk much thicker, and it could cause your baby to choke."

How is it a choking hazard if the rusks are dissolved

Are you in America by any chance?

I'm in America and the weaning standards 20 years ago when I had my first did not include rusks in bottle (there was a distinct bias toward no bottles at all just breast actually) and solid food at 6 months.

No idea where OP is but it ain't america visiting a paediatrician board- certified in the US.

OP google it if you insist on doing it. It isn't rocket science. It just isn't advisable to do.

Have you read anything above your post OP??

In addition to being a choking hazard, they are empty calories. Rusks are loaded with sugar and oils and fillers. I ask again, are you American?

I googled it thanks and never found a answer so as I stated I'm here for people who HAVE and I'm in London as stated above ^

It is a choking hazard because "Another thing to bear in mind, is that cereal in his bottle will make the milk much thicker, and it could cause your baby to choke."
