oatmeal or rice?
« on: June 12, 2006, 13:27:02 pm »
I'm looking into starting solids with my lo and I was just wondering if oatmeal single grain cereal is a good first food to start with as opposed to rice cereal. I heard rice cereal can be constipating, so is oatmeal ok? thanks in advance!

Yes!  Oatmeal is fine to start with.  Avacado and sweet potatoes are good first foods as well.  You don't have to start with cereal.

Good Luck!

Oatmeal is great - my DS prefers that and barley over the rice hands down.

My dd started with rice then barley. We introduced oatmeal and she broke out into a horrible body rash. I posted about allergies and have since read that some docs don't suggest oatmeal until the 9th month (though oatmeal allergies are very rare). Avocado and banana are great starters (bfing clinic suggested to me) due to their high nutrient count.
