My 6 months old daughter does not like rice cereal. What else can I give to her?

Question

She is on rice cereal more than a month and she hates it. I tried giving her cereal mixing with banana. She hates it.

Answer 1

You can move on to somethign else. The order my pediatrician recommended is:
rice cereal
oatmeal
barley cereal

vegetables (low sugar content to high sugar content)
fruits
meats.

If she's been on rice cereal for a month now, you can definitely switch and try oatmeal. If she doesn't like that, then try barley. But keep in mind, all this is new to infants so it may take them some time to get used to the new flavors and textures.

Answer 2

Applesauce was the answer for my baby. Added it to the already mixed rice cereal. Room Temperature. My baby won't eat it cold. But you can eat any stage one foods. Try different things. I read it can take 15 times before a baby will accept a new food. Just keep trying. Make sure to wait 3 days between each new food.

Answer 3

ok there are other cereals have you tryed oatmeal or barley and what i did was i mixed bananas or apple butter or a lil bit of juice mixed in if not then try starting her on some baby foods like bananas and fruits 1st stage baby food not the chunky stuff

Answer 4

I also have a infant who's turning 5 months previous in a week. i began giving her cereals at 4mo a million week and could commence pureed culmination and greens at 5 months. Her Dr. counseled beginning after 4 months, not quicker. He stated every time after 4 months is okay. some little ones won't be waiting till later. in spite of the case my mom fed us cereals as quickly as we've been approximately amonth previous and we are wholesome little ones, non of my siblings or I even have any nutrition hypersensitive reactions or digestive problems, we at the instant are not obese, none individuals be bothered by diabetes or coronary heart problems. it rather is a decision which you may desire to make and look for suggestion out of your pediatrician and in spite of you elect will probable be ok. do not feed her meat. extra nitrogen and minerals presented by utilising intense-protein diets would exceed the flexibility of an infant's kidneys to excrete the waste products of protein metabolism, consequently putting lots rigidity on usual kidney function. there isn't any want for meat till infant has mastered different ingredients or till infant is switched to cow's milk because of the fact it has much less protein than formula or breast milk.

Answer 5

There really is no need to even offer a baby cereal nowadays, and you can simply start pureeing or mashing steamed veggies and fruits for your daughter. My son will be 6 months in 10 more days and we're starting him off on avocados tomorrow.

Answer 6

Just give her regular baby food. My son was eating jars of sweet potatoes (his favorite) other orange and yellow veggies and fruits at 4 months. Theres no reason she cant have regular baby food. She's more than old enough. In fact, she's almost old enough to stage two's. My son was actually on stage two's by 6 months.

Answer 7

don't force her! either try oatmeal or barley or you can just skip cereal altogether there is no need for it besides the fact that it is a food that most babies are not allergic to there is very little nutritional value in it

Answer 8

just give her some fruit.
Mommy M, a baby at 6 months of age should be eating off a spoon, not putting it in a bottle.

Answer 9

Try putting more breakmilk or formula in it to make it smoother. And if she still doesn't like it, try adding a fruit. Like pears, bananas, applesauce. If that doesn't work. She might be producing an allergy to it.
They also have oatmeal cereal.
Good Luck!

Answer 10

my son hated it to, however he loved oatmeal. You should try that cereal next anyway
