My ger is turning 6 mth soon and is going to start on cereal. Can mummies tell me which brand and which type of cereal are you giving your baby? can also tell why you feeding bb that brand?

Too many type of cereal in the market, dun know which one is good.

When feeding bb cereal, do i need to give her some pureed?

Is brown rice a must? When do bb start taking brown rice?

my boy started on white rice & brown rice cereal (Nestle) when he was 5 mths old. at 6 mths I switch to Rabbit brand Brown rice as they comes with various type of favours like, herbs / ikanbilis etc...

I dont feed my boy with bottle food not that i dont trust them but still finds that freshly cook stuff is better.

I gave my dear daughter Healthy Times cereal. They have barley, oatmeal, brown rice (all three mentioned earlier are for 6months and above) and mixed grain (only after 8 months). It's organic and no sugar added. She's eaten all of them but she likes oatmeal best (very fragrant).

Once your dear daughter has gotten used to eating semisolid food, you can start trying out some veg and fruit purees (wait 3-4days after introducing each new food in case your bb's allergic to the food). After that, you can mix the veg/fruit purees with the cereal.

Brown rice is not a must but it's good to intro your baby to it. :)

sweet potatoes dosent cause gas in alicia and alaric? i dunno my girl likes or not cos so far she dosent show her preference of food..

i dun buy bb food thus no brands to share hehe. i buy those brown rice, barley, etc from normal supermarkets n then grind them up into powder with a miller then cook cereal for her.. never bought any bb food before...

brown rice is not a must but its a good food cos its rich in vit n min compare to white rice. i buy normal brown rice from supermarket..

for puree, i give my girl only 1mth(6mths old to 7mths old). puree fruits n veg.. after 7mths i simply mashed up..then at 8mths i cut into tiny cubes or chop for her...

picky from 9mths old? hmm.. my girl coming 9mths! dangerous zone hehe. well i think the older they get the better they are at telling their preference thats y..

my girl so far even if she fusses at meals, once the spoon reach her she will open mouth n eat.. so i also dunno she full or not. i give her till she stop opening mouth even if she leans backwards n fusses.. cos even so, sometimes she pulls the spoon towards her mouth by herself! dunno y she fuss also.. so i continue giving. sometimes i stop cos her food finish not cos she stop opening mouth..

try not to feed them too much "sweet food" if wise they will reject / refuse to accept food that are not sweet.

However i found that nestle have the higher iron compare to other brand.

thus is nestle a better brand?
