You can
buy rice cereal made specifically for
baby's introduction to solid foods.
The bigger problem is that
rice in general contains a large amount of arsenic, so whether you
buy pre-made
baby cereal or make your own, the
rice itself is the big problem.
And even
baby cereal can be made from scratch... home made oatmeal or
rice cereal is easy in a coffee grinder and if made from organic grains is cheaper and healthier than any store
bought stuff, and only takes five minutes to prepare.
we have a 4-1/2 month old and we've been slowly introducing the
baby solids to him since he demanded more and more formula (which has been for about 2 months now) everyone told me to start him on
rice cereal, we tried it and to this day it still messes his little tummy up for a few days (even though i» monly feeding him a tsp full of it with his applesauce) as far as the
baby purees go he only eats applesauce, so i decided to skip the
baby applesauce and just
buy the regular natural applesauce (much more — 75 % less cost wise) he loves it... i think he likes it better than the
baby stuff!
Almost everyone was breastfeeding, making their own
baby foods, skipping enriched
rice cereal or making their own version at home, and
buying organic, local produce.
