I'm really confused lots of people started feeding with rice cereals but I've read they're nothing but sugar and aren't good... Did your ped recommend a rice cereal?
The trends are changing. Many of us started with rice cereals with a bit of milk mixed in. Then added fruit. We used organic brown rice cereal which doesn't have any added sugar. There are so many parents who have gone the Baby Led Weaning route. Best to decide what works for you.
