Wholesome Rice Cereal

Wholesome Rice Cereal

1/4 cup (around 1 oz) brown rice powder
8 fl oz (1 cup) water
a little formula/breastmilk
To make the rice powder, grind brown rice in a blender or food processor. This is best achieved by grinding in small quantities – but to make the powder REALLY fine, we recommend trying an Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder (from Amazon)
You can use white rice if you prefer, but this page explains why brown rice is more nutritious.

1. Bring the water to a boil.
   
2. Add the rice powder, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.
   
3. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer gently for about 10 minutes (don’t forget to keep stirring, or the rice will stick).
   
4. Then stir in enough formula or breastmilk to give the consistency that’s best for your baby.
   
5. Once baby has been introduced to fruit, you could always add a little of his favourite puree.
