Rice cereal

So my little girl’s Dr told us we could start her on rice cereal at 5 months old but I keep seeing negative stuff about rice cereal. Would using an oat based cereal be fine? Just a bit concerned 🥹 due to the levels of arsenic in rice cereal.

Hi! Our pediatrician said the same but I’m going to skip that and wait until my baby is 6 months and can eat real food no cereal. I did the same with my first one and she eats everything.

Use oats!!! If the baby has problems with poop, one oz of prune juice ❤️

I started kendamil banana oatmeal with my 5 month old

My 4 month old just started baby oat cereal. I was told the rice cereal has high levels of arsenic in it.

@Kayla when will you start purées

Our Peds said not to start anything until 6 months. But with my first again at 6 months we started with veggies than fruits. Never even did the oats or cereals. Not until he was almost 2 did he even have oatmeal. But we aren't a big rice or cereal family either. And the baby food isn't even needed for nutrition until after 1 anyways so we just figured why start early. More money being wasted or the food and the breast milk used to thin it out.

@Taylor he said a month after we start the oat cereal. So she will be 5 months.

I’m also skipping rice cereal and going to real food

Honestly you can give your baby things like pureed banana ,avocado, sweet potatoes, mash potatoes. My son will be 5 months on the 16th and he's tried bananas and got mad when It was gone lol . I wouldn't waste my time on that cereal.

Why??? Real food for babies plz!!!!! Wait until 6 months and give him well done steak to munch on and avocados. No cereal here 💩
