Gerber Rice Single Grain Cereal

Our daughter was experiencing a lot of spit up after feeding with baby formula so her doctor recommended adding a tablespoon of rice cereal for every 2 ounces of formula.

We choose Gerber Rice Cereal since it is what we planned to feed her later when she advanced to solid foods anyway. We noticed immediately that it did reduce the amount of spit up after each feeding. It seems to thicken up the formula to help reduce the amount of gas in her stomach. The down side was we did notice it seemed to make her bowel movements much harder, so again under doctors orders we added a teaspoon of corn syrup for every two ounces of formula to soften up her stool. She has been on this diet for over four months now and seems to be regular and experiencing far less spit up at feeding time.

Gerber Rice Single Grain Cereal contains Vita Blocks, a healthy amount of Iron, Zinc, Vitamin B6 and B12 as well as a small amount of Calcium, Vitamin E, and other much needed vitamins and minerals babies need in their rapid growing stages of development.

The rice cereal has been great for when she started solid food as well; it appears quite bland in flavor but can be mixed with a small amount of baby food to give it more taste.

I'd recommend it for any parent whose baby is spitting up after feeding with formula, or getting ready to start solid foods.
