Ladies, i didn't read this thread frm the very beginning. But just wanna share with you based on what I've read on this page..
There's actually no rule that says you must feed your bb porridge, even if he/she does not want it or like it. Just stick with what you've been giving him/her, and try porridge again in a week's time or a month's time. You know, bbs this young know how to want variety le. So u gotto improvise sometimes.
Continue w the cereals if you have to, but maybe add something else inside iso of just serving it plain.
I remem i had a hard time w our boy when he was a bb too. At least ur bbs take to cereal, our boy at that time only liked one type..the Bio Hipp (or something) which my sister used to get for us frm Germany. His favourite? Banana
Think u can find this brand in Brown Rice Paradise if any of u are interested.
Otherwise, he was having yogurt and lots of it too.
as for the brown rice.., just few mths ago, a mum frm this forum shared that she was taking Sukha House's organic brown red rice which cooks like ordinary white rice. I only bought to try last week, n truly it does taste like white rice. Cooking and water quantity same like white rice too.
anyway, this is jmho and hope it helps
