Cow & Gate Baby Rice Cereal, 4-6+ Months, 100 g, Pack of 5

Product Information

So my advice would be to try different porridges to see how your little one reacts and every now and again, maybe monthly, try the ones she reacted to again to see how she is and hopefully yours will grow out of it to. To help you pick the best baby food for your little one, we've asked parents to rank popular baby food brands for appearance, smell, value for money and convenience. To choose the best baby food, check the ingredients on the packaging, and consult your paediatrician if you're not sure what nutrition your baby needs. This means they cannot absorb lactose, which is a sugar that's naturally in milk and dairy products.

It's occasionally used as an alternative to cows' milk formula for babies who have cows' milk allergy. This is supposed to make it easier to digest and help prevent digestive problems such as colic and constipation. She doesn't like baby rice much and doesn't seem that keen on fruits either so am running out of things to try. Less expensive than jarred products, especially those that are simply puréed fruit or vegetables - you can make these combinations far more cheaply at home with a hand blender.

Although it's often described as suitable for "hungrier babies", there's no evidence that babies settle better or sleep longer when fed this type of formula.

Likewise some can tolerate cheese and yoghurt but not milk itself, some will not react to cooked dairy produce but can't tolerate raw, and so on. Until this age, they should be getting all the nutrients they need from breast milk or infant formula. There's no evidence to suggest that these products provide extra nutritional benefits for young children. She has been fine on baby rice, fruit and veg but I gave her some organic plain baby porridge today and wherever the porridge touched her face it turned red and blotchy with little white welts.

I thought ıt may be an allergy to gluten so I tried a cow and gate gluten free porridge - but if anything the rash was worse and more immediate.
