We decided to give it a try with E after trying sweet potatoes for a couple of days. We figured that maybe giving her something more bland with her formula mixed in would be less of a change for her pallet and a gentle way for her to learn how to eat. And she liked it much better than the sweet potatoes. Instead of crinkling up her face and closing her mouth, she would reach for the spoon and open her mouth. So we decided to go this route for a couple of days and then return to veggies. Since then she has loved every veggie we have fed her:)
Homemade Rice Cereal
Ingredients
1/4 cup organic short grained brown rice
1 cup water
Directions
Bring the water to a boil.
Grind the brown rice into a powder. I of course used my WonderMill which worked great!
Add the rice powder to the boiling water while stirring. Let it simmer for 10 minutes continually whisking to make sure it doesn't clump.
Mix in breast milk or prepared formula to the desired consistency.
