Which Gerber rice cereal is better for my 4mnth old.. single grain cereal (box) or cereal with DHA (tin)?
He is 4&1/2 mnths now and weighs a lil over 18 lbs and the pediatrician has advised me to start solids… so please dont tell me i’m doing the wrong thing here.. I have already started him on the single grain one (box) which he loves btw (he seems fine.. no allergies,etc.) and recently saw the DHA one (tin) on the shelves.. so was wondering if there was any benefit of one over the other? Also is it necessary to try out ALL the different types of cereal (oatmeal,barley) before eventually giving him vegetables/fruits? I dont see the point in that if he is fine with the current one.. I thought the other types were meant for babies who didnt do well with the rice..
I think either one would be fine… up to you. If he likes the one you are giving him, then why switch? And no, you don’t HAVE TO try all the cereals before you start the fruits and veggies. But, I think most docs recommend you wait til 6 months to start the actual baby food. So, maybe just do the cereal for a month or so, and then start the jar fruits and veggies. You could try the oatmeal cereal… my kids really liked it and they seemed to get too backed up (constipated) if they ate too much rice cereal and the oatmeal has a little more flavor too so he might like it better. I never did try the barley… I didn’t know there was such a thing.
