Brown Rice cereal for baby
« on: July 29, 2012, 01:17:34 pm »
I'm just about to start introducing solids to bubs and am wondering if anyone has made their own brown rice cereal?

A prev post I found suggested milling rice and then cooking, and another blog suggested the opposite- cooking in washed rice oven first and then milling. I would like to jsut use TM if possible but need it to be digestable for bubs

Any thoughts and anyone done this? It doesn't matter the size of the grain does it as it's milled?

Thank you! I tried the one from the forum but wasted a lot as bubs is only having 2 tsp atm.

How would I achieve the same result as the store bought ones where you just mix a tiny bit with water?

I guess I should try cooking the rice before turning it into flour and then I can keep just the flour in cupboard and add water as needed? Like what was suggested in chookiescookin?

Great to find this thread as I am also about to start my baby on solids in the next couple of weeks.  I wanted to make the rice cereal that's in the EDC but thought that too much would go to waste seeing as they only start out having a teaspoon a day.

I had a look at the Chookie's Cookin' page and from what I gather you can just take the amount of rice cereal you need and mix it with enough boiling water to get it to the consistency you want?  Can anyone confirm for me cause I wasn't sure of the right ratio of water to cereal.

That's how it reads asha, just mix it to the consistency you want for bubs with boiling water.
