Cheezel - You could try him on pureed or mashed vegies. I haven't done rice cereal with my kids at all (well briefly with the first I think). I think the porridge would be OK if it's from 6 months plus. DS is having mashed sweet potato with a bit of creamed corn mixed in. He loves it! I'm going to try some brocoli and carrot this coming week.

When they get to the stage that they're having 3 meals a day, I use the porridge and baby cereal stuff for breakfast with fruit mixed in but we aren't any where near that stage yet.
