Which one?

[Jojo]

Some people say they started with oatmeal and some say they start with rice...which one did you start with?

[Farah]

I did rice. That made him a little constipated and then I went with oatmeal and stuck with that ever since :hungry:

[Elaine]

We started with rice because it's got the least chance of causing an allergic reaction. My DH is allergic to peanuts so we took the safest route we could. We moved on to oatmeal after a few weeks and then to mixed grains but he always preferred the rice. Oh, and we mixed his cereal with EBM. :twothumbs:

[Cindy]

We also started with rice first. Just cause, really no reason. Then we tried oatmeal and he liked that much better.

PS I have like 3 boxes of baby cereal if you want them PM me!

[MomHenry918]

I started with rice at my doc's suggestion...but then again, he really had no reason for it.

[Leah]

My dr also recommended rice first. He didn't like it much so we shortly moved on to oatmeal. ;)

[Becky]

We tried rice at first and Gabriel really didn't tolerate it very well, so we took a break and then started back up with oatmeal afterwards.

[Heather]

Ditto to the rice first and it making him constipated. If I were you, I'd go straight to the oats. Nothing worse than a constipated babe, and we were still b/f'ing, too. Worried the hell out of me for weeks!

[Ashley]

We did rice w/ Tyler, no issues there.

[Jojo]

Thanks ladies! Thanks Cindy :D If you want to send them to me that would be great!

I have a box of rice cereal so I'll be getting the oatmeal. We get to start at 4 months and I am so excited. I did try to shove some in his mouth already but he didn't really care about it. It was mostly all over his face and shirt :lol: Oh well.

[Cindy]

Don't buy oatmeal I have two boxes of oatmeal and two boxes of rice cereal. I'll try to get them out tomorrow. Eric is in class this week so if he gets home earlier enough I can get them out tomorrow. :)

(On a side note I just pulled those out of the pantry and there was a can of Conner's Gentlease formula sitting behing them. UGH Go figure! lol)

I should have asked this question sooner!!


Thanks so much Cindy...and let me know the dough! (that sounded dumb but rhymed so I stuck with it)

[Cindy]

I don't need anything. I got them on WIC when I was on it and just never used them. They are good until the end of this year so you can have them. Conner never ate them so I always had extra. :))

[Goosey]

Everyone, including the Peds, said Rice so thats what I started with.

[Carmen]

We started with rice. :)

[Andrea]

We started with rice also, she did like the oatmeal better though.

[Ry&ChansMommy]
