Rice cereal is the name commonly given to industrially manufactured baby food based on rice. Its ingredient list is not well defined and depends on the manufacturer. It has been recommended by pediatricians in the United States as the initial food for solid food-ready babies for the second half of the 20th century.[1]
Most commercially available rice cereals in the US contain extracted ingredients that a naturally breastfed baby may find to be a shock to the system, such as soy oil, lecithin, but which a baby served baby formula will have gotten used to. When selecting a rice cereal for a breastfed baby, it is important to read the ingredients list to avoid these industry-extracted additives.
