Cereal is definitely not okay for a six week old baby. They should be at least three months before cereal is introduced. And it's a myth that cereal in the bottle will make them sleep. Not true, but still widely believed.

I hate it when people think they know everything better than the experts. My hubby's aunt has no children, but she thinks she knows it all. She is very adament about giving young kids Aspirin, a huge no-no. She says Reyes's Syndrome doesn't exist and it's all a conspiracy by the Tylenol makers to sell more Tylenol. And she's serious.
