Most infants start trying solid foods between 4-6 mos. Ask your pediatrician when they recommend you trying solids with your little one. You will want to start with low-allergy-risk foods. Many people try a single grain baby cereal first. You can buy these pre-made at any grocery store, but why not try making your own? It’s simple and inexpensive….anyone with a food processor can do it. Here is an easy recipe for brown rice cereal:
Brown rice cereal: Higher in fiber and nutrition than white rice, brown rice is great for energy and the development of a healthy nervous system. Milled brown rice cereal is a fantastic first food for Baby. Here’s all you need:
a food processor (we use the baby bullet and it’s milling blade)
1/2 cup brown rice
4 cups water
1. Add 1/2 cup of uncooked brown rice to your food processor and process into a fine powder.
2. Add the brown rice powder and 4 cups of water to a pot and cover until it boils.
3. Once boiling, turn heat to low and cook covered for 20 min.
4. Check the consistency, if you want it thinner add liqued until desired thickness is achieved.
5. This recipe will make 16 oz. of baby food. You can freeze a portion of it in single servings, just pop them out and warm when needed.
We will be posting about making your own baby food the first week of each month in our blog so make sure you check out all our recipes!
Until next time,
