Day 1 of Brown Rice Cereal

This is the first time I am giving my boy brown rice cereal. Once he is alright with the brown rice cereal I will make my own brown rice porridge for him. I read somewhere that brown rice is hard to digest and difficult to be absorb by baby's digestive system. So that is why I decided to give him slightly later and give him the cereal first before giving him the brown rice porridge that I will make for him later on. I mixed the brown rice cereal with breastmilk.





Schedule for Today:

Morning (8 am to 9 am): Breastmilk

Noon (11 am to 12pm): Brown rice cereal, continue with breastmilk as and when needed

Afternoon (4pm to 5pm): 3 tablespoons of rice cereal with breastmilk & breastmilk as and when needed

Night (after 6pm): Breastmilk



Allergy Reaction:

No allergy reaction observed.



Texture of Food:

Same as previously.



Amount of Food:

The amount of food is 3 tablespoons of brown rice cereal. Add breastmilk to thin the cereal.



Baby reaction:

Baby seems to love the brown rice cereal. No struggle. He keeps on opening his mouth for more.
