Starting solids at 6mo - brown rice or oatmeal cereal?
« on: February 22, 2011, 21:30:45 pm »
Hi
I've chosen to wait till my LO is 6mo before starting him on solids. So he will be 6mo soon and I need your opinions on what to start him on. I have heard that white rice cereal causes a lot of babies to be constipated (including my niece). So I thought of starting him on either oat cereal or brown rice cereal.

Another question is: has anyone here made their own brown rice cereal or oat cereal from raw organic grains rather then buying the instant baby cereal? Is the homemade stuff better? Please advise.

Thank you.

I think the brown rice will be easier to digest than the oatmeal, so I would start with that.

I've never made it myself because I didn't really do cereal with my LOs, but this thread has some ideas on how to make it:

I'm not sure where you're located, but I found an organic brown rice cereal at Toys R Us (in Canada). My DS had a bit of constipation with it, though. He loved barley cereal and had NO trouble at all ;)
