what's the best brand of rice cereal?

pediatrician said i could introduce rice cereal if i want to after 3 mos if she is eating over 30 oz of formula a day. i still have a lot of time, but i just would like to compare brands.

We have been using Beech Nut in their bottles to help with Reflux and they seem to "like" it. It didn't back them up, so we like it.

 

I do know we stayed away from Gerber because they put Soy in their rice, and soy seems to back my kids up pretty bad.

I liked Earth's Best because it wasn't iridescent like Gerber. It seemed a lot closer to actual food.

Just curious why you would want to introduce rice cereal so early?

we are skipping cereals, i think real fruits/veggies are funner and way more nutritious.

We used Earth's Best with DD, and will do the same with DS.  This time around, I am thinking about using more "real" food to start off with as opposed to just cereal.

My pediatrician recommended whole grain oatmeal and real veggies and fruits as opposed to rice cereal which just turns to sugar quickly in the body.  I was also told that starting rice cereals, etc before 4mos may increase your child's chance of being overweight later on.

Most pedis (at least what I've read/experienced) advise using rice cereal for babies w/ low birth weight OR reflux, and never really before 4mo. I'd ask your pedi WHY they're telling you to do this.
