Baby Rice Cereal



Baby's First Rice Cereal
Serving Size: 1/4 cup

4 Tbsp warm Breast Milk or Formula
1 Tbsp Rice Cereal (We used Gerber's Organic)

Simply combine the two in a small bowl and presto! Baby cereal. 

Basically, Gerber (and our pedi) recommend a 4 to 1 ratio for the first few feedings. The first feeding, we did the 4/1 Tbsp but we had a LOT left over. Today, we did a 4/1 tsp and Nathan ate almost all of it. And we didn't waste any breast milk.


As a mom who loves to cook, I am committed to making sure my son gets the best I can give him for food. My husband and I will be making almost all of Nathan's first foods ourselves. Yes, I am buying cereal and oatmeal, but the rest will all be homemade. So stay tuned for recipes in the upcoming months!


Baby Product Recommendation:
I recommend the spoons made by Nuby. I love that they are BPA free and change color if I made his food too warm. The angled handle is also nice for feeding him.
