I used to add veggies and chicken too and got it really smooth. Brown rice wasn't as smooth as white though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301523 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:51:07 +0000 pinkcupcake 301523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: LOL. That's what happens when you're typing and trying to keep the baby away from the keyboard. </p> <p>Although I do really like soaking my water before I consume it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301515 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:44:26 +0000 Mrsbells 301515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone I guess it can go both ways.</p> <p> @MungBean: Lol I think you meant to say you soak the rice in water, rather than the water in the rice. Lol that was a funny typo</p> <p>@chopsuey119: Do you get it quite smooth if you blend after boiling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301510 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:42:43 +0000 pinkcupcake 301510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I soak my rice in a water, then blend it in my food processor (with the water), cook it, and then blend it one more time. I haven't had any problems yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301459 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:03:31 +0000 heffalump 301459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my magic bullet to blend the rice first. Didn't harm it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301451 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:55:59 +0000 chopsuey 301451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always cooked the rice first, then blended! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeding-rice-to-babies#post-301447 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:53:49 +0000 Mrsbells 301447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the guidelines I see mention that if you decide to feed rice or brown rice to your baby you have to grind it into a flour first and then cook it. Has anyone done the opposite and cooked the rice first and then blended it? Is there any reason why it must be ground into flour first? I dont have a mill and I worry that griding rice in the blender will mess it up.<br /> I do know that some people skip cereals because they dont have much nutritional value but I would still like to introduce it eventually even though it wont be her first food </p>
