rice cereal or oatmeal?

which one did you guys start your baby on first?
Koen's Pedi said we could start on either one. and he said oatmeal has more fiber and rice is more starchy.. soI was thinking of getting some oatmeal, but I wanted to know which one your babies did better with the first time

I was told rice first then oatmeal...and hold off on wheat till 1yrs old

are you thinking oat first b/c the fiber will make bowels more regular?? If so, just give him fruit! Fruit gets those bowels going.

lol no, I wasn't thinking about that.. he's BF though so he never poops haha

I was advised to start with Rice then Oatmeal. We skipped over Barley all together because my daughter's doctor doesn't suggest it until over a year.

I wonder how fruit will effect him then since he's bf'ed...hmmm...interesting...

So, what makes you want to go w/ oatmeal first?

We've only tried Ryleigh on Rice and oatmeal. Rice first though.

oh, I see. Both are quite healthy...Japanese have a diet rich in rice and fish and are among the healthiest people in the world.

OH! And, I've tasted the rice cereal...it's quite SWEET!   I didn't expect that...
