Baby's First Rice Cereal
Yields 1 serving
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon iron-fortified prepared rice cereal
4–5 tablespoons expressed breast milk or formula
Your baby should only receive rice cereal from a spoon. Do not put rice cereal in your child's bottle.
Mix all ingredients together. Consistency should be equal to or only slightly thicker than breast milk or formula.
Your baby's first taste of infant rice cereal may be more exciting for you than for her! She may make funny faces, be disinterested, or dribble it all over herself. Or, she may look at you like you have been holding out on her and gobble it all up. Enjoy this moment and each opportunity you have to feed your child. They are a gift.
