Rice cereal

Well The Babe with the Power started on solid food a couple of weeks ago and I didn't want to buy the commercial baby rice cereal that is generally recommended as a first food because it is not whole grain and it is so processed. Instead I broke out my grain mill and a bag of whole grain brown rice. I ground the rice into flour and cooked some with water to make pretty much like a porridge, then I just scooped the amount I needed into a bowl and for the first few feedings added a little liquid to thin down for him. Now that we are introducing other foods too we mix whatever we are giving him with his cereal to get him familiar with the taste and texture before we give it to him alone. So far bananas are the favorite.
