How much cereal are you putting in the mix compared to your liquid? I was never very good at expressing for cereal, so I just used cooled boiled water. Maybe try just a teaspoon of farex first, then add 2-3 teaspoons of breastmilk, that should give you a "slightly thicker than breastmilk" consistency, which is what I liked to use for baby the first few weeks of food introduction.
I saw you're using farex, have you thought of using a Rafferty's Garden rice cereal? My 2 boys both had farex when little & always struggled to get the right consistency, now Rafferty's is around, i've bought it for DD and she is loving it. The consistency is beautiful, so smooth & if you taste it, it does just taste of rice, last time I tasted some farex it felt like I had a hair in my mouth lol! I had to spit it out!
