Rice cereal

Rice cereal is a common baby food product in the United States.

In stores

The primary ingredient of all rice cereal is rice.

Most commercially available rice cereals in the US contain extracted ingredients that a naturally breastfed baby may find to be a shock to the system, such as soy oil, lecithin, [http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100367&navAction=jump&navCount=1&id=prod3061#ingredient Gerber Rice Cereal at Walgreens] ] but which a baby served baby formula will have gotten used to. When selecting a rice cereal for a breastfed baby, it is important to read the ingredients list to avoid these industry-extracted additives.

Manufacture at home

Rice cereal can also be made in the home. Place 1 cup of brown rice and 4 ounces of breast milk or water into a blender and puree it until completely smooth. Boil if using water. This mixture can then be frozen and stored for over a month, until needed, or served by mixing in additional breast milk or boiled water until the texture is both smooth and easy to serve.
