Fidgetsmum Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just weaning my son. I know I should express for baby rice, as he's been exclusively bf up to now, but frankly, I've tried but just get really stressed as I haven't really got the time with a three year old as well. So, should it be cows milk or formula in baby rice? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18018-what-milk-for-baby-rice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbourne groover Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Use formula if no breastmilk to hand (so to speak..;-)). Once they are onto yogurt etc then I used to use cows milk.

Fuschia Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How old is he?If it's only tiny quantities it Problably doesn't matter whichFormula is based on cows milk anywAy though lower in sodium I think Still has cows milk protein though, if that's a concernIf you don't bother with cereal but go straight to fruit and veg then it won't be an issueI haven't met a baby who actually likes the stuff!

Vik Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 My little'un was exclusively BF'd too and I really couldn't be bothered with expressing so just didn't give her baby rice - we just went straight to pur?ed fruit and veg and finger foods.If you want to give rice, I think I would prob give formula though.

Ruth_Baldock Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yep, it's the aptamil one that Cheeky S tolerated most. Although he quickly turned his nose up at baby porridge/purees and we did BLW anyway.I think Sainsburys DKH do the aptamil baby rice, though, which is handy because I found it slightly tricky to find....

Fidgetsmum Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Brilliant. Thanks everyone. I'm heading towards BLW - he seems to love baby rice too so I'm doing a mix of rice, purees and blw. I'm delighted to say that he shows no signs of having the same allergy my daughter had - HOOORAY. SO much easier and SO less stressed that I was this time, last child!
