Anyone start with Oats or Barley first
« on: October 16, 2005, 23:59:41 pm »
I am trying to avoid possible constipation in DD, and also I'd like to make her own cereal.  I can't make her rice cereal, but I can grind fresh oats or barley.  So I'm wondering if it's ok to try her on those, and if anyone else started with something other than rice cereal?

I did with Zachary, started with oatmeal, then barley, then rice every great once in a while.  I think it's fine to start with oatmeal (it tastes much better than rice).   My doc said there is nothing wrong with it, but if you just want to be cautious, give your doc a call and see what he/she has to say about it.

We chose oatmeal after trying rice for a week (very bad gas, the kind that would keep him up)  We switched to oatmeal and he's loved it for months now!  In fact, I think oatmeal has more nutrients than rice. 

Good luck

I used barley. Both my kids didn't like rice but loved barley.

Me too I started with oat since I heard that rice constipates and there wasn't any PB.

My advice is to go ahead, and good luck  :D
