There was one paper that asked the question, "how feasible is it" ie the one you linked to. Unfortunately not without bias or inaccuracies either as I address here http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2011/01/starting-solids-facts-behind-todays.html<br /><br />Nutrient levels do start to drop at 6 months, and for babies born by c/s, with immediate cord clamping, VLBW etc this may be earlier than those who were not. However the conclusion is that it's feasible for most (ie there may be babies with developmental delays, extreme prematurity etc who need additional support). If you were particularly concerned, then of course considering micronutrient supplementation may be an option - still not sure how synthetic baby rice is relevant though?<br /><br />Aside from that one study, refined carbs have been linked numerous times with diabetes? Do you have any studies showing baby rice doesn't increase this risk?<br /><br />AA<br /><br />Analytical Armadillo IBCLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829027807809292649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-41308895448280054212013-12-31T08:58:58.735+00:002013-12-31T08:58:58.735+00:00There are some interesting points raised in your a...There are some interesting points raised in your article but some of your points aren't based on appropriate evidence. Although the WHO do recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months there have been numerous calls for this to be updated (e.g. http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.c5955) in light of the fact that infant nutrient levels start to drop rapidly at 6 months and need to be quickly supplemented from other sources. If you have a little angel who instantly starts to eat under BLW that's great but there is evidence to suggest that some supplementation is needed before then to maintain an adequate supply of nutrients. The article you cite (http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=416025) for the link between diabetes and white rice is totally irrelevant, the youngest person in the study was 26 and it is discussing swapping white to brown when it makes up a significant proportion of the diet. The recommendations for introducing baby rice in most sources is less than two portions per day most mixed heavily with other purees past the second week. I hope I haven't appeared rude but wanted to highlight the errors in some of the statements that you have made particularly given that many people take everything they read as gospel without checking the original sources.

I got that, in addition to formula made with evaporated milk, water and corn syrup. <br /><br />With my kids, I only used baby cereal like another mother who commented here, and that was to thicken any home made baby food that was too thin. Using it that way, I never used more than a half of a small box per baby.<br /><br />I made my own baby cereal, by grinding whole millet, rolled oats and brown rice almost as fine as flour, so it cooked very quickly.<br /><br />noelanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459339092491148181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-40536917596172663682012-12-23T17:19:54.419+00:002012-12-23T17:19:54.419+00:00http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2011/04/tongu...http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2011/04/tongue-tie-hidden-cause-of-feeding.html might be of interest<br />Analytical Armadillo IBCLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829027807809292649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-71253862724978540522012-12-23T15:49:05.338+00:002012-12-23T15:49:05.338+00:00Although I am completely for all organic, my daugh...Although I am completely for all organic, my daughter had a problem with my breast milk. One was that she was allergic to anything with milk. I cut out everything with milk and she got a little better. She wasn't gaining the weight she needed to. The doctor was concerned with that because she wasn't even gaining a forth of what they wanted her to. He suggested putting a little rice or oatmeal in her bottle with whatever I gave her. At that time it was breast milk and she was drastically better.<br /><br />She wasn't completely better so the doctor suggested using just a soy formula. The spit up continued with bad spitting up. My daughter can't drink anything without some thickness to it!<br /><br />She also couldn't eat anything with oatmeal in it. I never used any rice other than 100% baby rice.

Today we have this powerful means that is the net and we can read informations on google, wikipedia, or forum-sites ..etc.Why not? I have so many questions every day as parent and I research topics on line , then form my opinion! I think too often we do what "it is done by most around us" taking it that it is right without questioning it! And too often we are influenced by media and major food, cloths, toys, powerful brands! We buy toys that are ...useless..and of course in plastic( so much waist!!) instead of wood...We use expensive furniture ( cribs!!) when a baby is much better off on a mattress on the floor, the Montessori-way, being free to roll without falling..and without "feeling imprisoned".We give ( Americans especially sorry to say!!) our kids sippy-cups while they are perfectly able to learn to drink from a glass. why? because we are afraid they make a mess while drinking in a car or in front of the tv! Why should they drink in a car or in front of tv anyway, developing such a bad habits and drinking canned juices all day long that damage their teeth?! We give our babies formula because we believe we don't have enough milk, we hear that almost everybody does the same and it 's ok to do so ( and of course formula companies do a good job in advertising !!) but indeed it s because it is hard to breastfeed, it is painful and takes more time and patience!!! But there is a reason why nature intended that way! Formula is not even close to be as good as breastmilk! And we can kid ourselves as much as we want saying that it is!!! We buy kids fancy shoes so they can start walking! But as nature intended , babies can do a better job walking barefoot and their feet and ankles get stronger that way!! So we ( most of Americans I talked to ) give babies rice cereal because everybody does! But turns out that yes they are useless and tasteless or too sweet and linked to future obesity and diabetes! Now if you chose to give a formula,rice cereals, useless plastic sippy-cups, canned juices, ..etc.. why should you get "upset" if we discuss and support a different way?!

I personally used 100% baby rice, which was cheaper than the baby brands. We mixed it up with breast milk into a rice porridge and our babies loved it. It was a great start to their solid foods and I'll stand by that statement!<br /><br />They're both very progressed and have no problems with foods.

My younger son I tried the baby cereals when the pediatrician suggested, but he never liked the mushy stuff. Not even fruits. To this day (9 years old) the only puree that he eats is applesauce. He didn't start solids in earnest till 7 months old when he got teeth and could chew diced foods. None of the lactation info that I had at the time suggested any of the baby centered weaning/starting solids. We do the best we can. unless we are going to go to a world like the movie GATTICA where all babies are engineered for a perceived perfection.

Maybe we haven't always avoided processed foods perfectly but we make a big effort and i find myself eating more fresh fruits and vegetables now. overall i think this approach has been healthier for my whole family.<br /><br />but honestly, these decisions were made based on my personal bias against baby food. i think it tastes, looks and feels gross. also, it's expensive and i'm cheap; or at least there are other baby things i'd rather spend my money on. i had no idea current baby feeding trends could be so problematic but i'm glad my baby is super healthy and we're on the right track.Jamie W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-30617737326406428472011-12-13T23:15:44.672+00:002011-12-13T23:15:44.672+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
