Yesterday took dd for her 5m ck up and they said i could start oatmeal. and i have a couple question.

1. Is oatmeal and cereal samething?
2. Peds said to mix stuff, just follow inst. on box, which i did. It said 1tbsp of oatmeal with 4-5 tbsp of BM or formula. DH thinks i made it too thin, its supposed to be thin isnt it?
3. Peds said just give her about 1-2 baby spoon fulls in am, and then at pm. Spoon barely holds anything. How much did you give when first starting out?
4. When did you start giving more, did you increase each day or week?

Im sure i should probable just call peds and ask but when I asked her how do i make the oatmeal, she looked at me like i had 10 heads.
