I'm just curious about how runny Rice Cereal is meant to be? I imagined it would be nice & runny, not much different than what DS is used to. But it seems like it doesn't matter how much breastmilk I add to it, it stays quite thick.
So when DS spits it out he is spitting out globs of the stuff. Is this right?
Hi CheezelMonster,
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!
HTH!
