I think they're the same thing. But it's pretty gross stuff that rice cereal. Have you looked into Baby Led Solids at all?
i have a few friends who have done BLS, but i havnt looked into it a lot for us....
i guess becasue i dont know where to start

Never used Farex, but my sons both liked the Rafferty's Garden. I started DS2 on the plain RG rice cereal when he was five months old (he was ready for solids then) and he happily ate it, and as he got a bit older I used some of the other RG cereal varieties. He had a huge appetite though, so once I knew his tummy could handle it, I put him on kiddy weetbix as he was going through a pack of RG cereal in about 3 days.
wow thats a lot of rice ceral!
ive never seen kids weet bix, how is it different to normal weet bix?


Yup, agree with Heaven and Audax. Your baby can have what you have and you don't need to worry about that rice cereal muck. I always go with the thought "if I wouldn't eat it then there is no way I'm giving it to my baby" and I certainly wouldn't be passing any rice cereal past my lips!

oh dont worry rice ceral wouldnt go past my lips either!

thank you all for your replies!

id like to have her on some puree's so i know how much she is eating but id also like to encourage her to eat finger foods as well....

if i was to not bother with rice ceral what sort of things would i give her for breakfast?
assuming toast and vegemite isnt ok for a 5-6month old? or is it? god i have no idea!
