They don't actually sleep longer.  Try not to give your baby any cereal till 4 mths old.  Their digestive system is just not ready for it.  Have you tried to cluster feed at night?

cereal can be very constipating . here in th u.k they are totally against putting anything other than milk in a bottle , by adding cereal you are thickening the milk and at such a young age your lo can choke

Plus adding the cereal will not help them sleep longer, that's a myth.

rather than add cereal to the feed , up the oz of feeds in the day.we never added any cereal just increased the oz as he needed more and he slept through at 8wks, his last feed was 12pm
