How long do we need to stay on baby rice? - Page 2

Marleysgirl · Feb 11th, 2010, 03:38 AM

I started Andrew on just baby rice for one week, and then started adding individual purees to the rice (so that I could tell if he didn't like a specific flavour).

Re the question about how much, I too am not sure if I was giving enough! Andrew is about half the size of a baby normally weaning (just 8lb), for the first week we gave just one teaspoon of the dry rice powder mixed up with milk. It certainly wasn't too much.

Now he's on 3 small ice-cubes of puree, and he does tend to eat it all. I don't know whether it's worth doing more, when babies get full do they simply clamp up and refuse to eat? Or will they keep opening mouth, swallowing - and eventually sick it back if its too much? (coz I want to avoid the latter!)

Ive been giving him one teaspoon of the rice powder mixed in with his baby milk! He doesnt finish this so I definitely dont think its too much! Brandon clamps his mouth down after about 2 spoonfuls but I think thats because he doesnt like it...hes always been a total muncher!!

Everyone just keeps tellin me not to go onto vegetable purees until he knows how to take from a spoon, but I want to...I think he will like it better! x x x
