    Brown Rice Cereal

    Brown Rice Cereal For Baby - Homemade Brown rice cereal made with brown rice. Rice is an ideal first food for babies as it is easily digestible & less likely to cause allergic reactions. But white rice is less in nutrients compared to brown rice, as brown rice contains both the bran and germ of the grain. Brown rice also has magnesium, manganese, selenium, and fiber. So it is ideal to opt for brown rice than white rice.

    This brown rice cereal cna be given to babies from 6 months. Though brown rice is nutritious than white rice, I would suggest introducing white rice cereal first as it is more easily digestible for baby. If your baby is doing good without any problem, slowly move to brown rice after a week or so. This brown rice porridge is also ideal for toddlers during teething, diarrhea or fever.

    Here is how to make homemade brown rice cereal recipe for babies.

    Notes :

    • Generally, brown rice doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • I used organic brown rice Sona masoori variety.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • You could make the brown rice cereal powder in bulk with 1 to 2 cups of brown rice.
    • Store the brown rice cereal in an airtight container. It stays good for 1-2 months.
    • Add in vegetable purees or fruit purees to the brown rice porridge to enhance the taste if desired.
    • Salt or sugar is not advisable for babies under one year.
    • This brown rice porridge will become thick after cooling down, so switch off the flame accordingly. Adjust with warm water/ breast milk or formula milk if it becomes too thick.
