@Boogs: Oh, wow! Is he allergic to gluten?

@bluestriped bee: He's not! No food allergies that we know of. It was the weirdest thing.

We use the Earth's Best multigrain, but did start with their rice cereal. Other than her first couple of servings prepared with breast milk, all have been mixed with fruit purees, often apple &/or prunes. We use it as one source of iron since LO is bf. She's eating a good variety of fruit & veggie purees, soft chunks, & cheese, yogurt, so it's just a small proportion of her daily meals.

So DH & MIL asked our pediatrician at their 6 month well visit today, she said...
-Babies are growing well enough now (they are off the preemie chart!
) and we can try feeding them things other than just formula.
-Since they are not sitting up yet, she said she prefers purees (veggies, fruits and cereal) over chunky foods. We can start chunky foods once they start sitting up on their own.
-Start on rice cereal before oats & quinoa. (Need to ask or look up why... I'm going to guess that rice is easier to digest than oats and quinoa. Or maybe it's the gluten concern.)
-Arsenic in rice is no longer a concern, since they took care of the arsenic issue last year.If I'm worried about the processed rice cereal, I wonder if I can cook up plain white rice and puree it and feed it to them.
Oh, I forgot to ask about the sugars in processed cereals.
Since they had their 6 months shots, I'm so eager to start solids but I'm going to wait a few days to make sure they don't have any reactions to the vaccines today. I have to be a bit more patient.
