Make sure you try to sit them up so they do not choke. Give the cereal in a spoon if your baby does not seem to like it try again another time.

From the story: Scientists are reporting today that they have overcome a major obstacle to using a promising alternative to embryonic stem cells, bolstering the prospects for bypassing the political and ethical tempest that has embroiled hopes for a new generation of medical treatments.The researchers said they found a safe way to coax adult cells to regress into an embryonic state, alleviating what had been the most worrisome uncertainty about developing the cells into potential cures. "We have removed a major roadblock for translating this into a clinical setting," said Konrad Hoc...
