Alayna's first attempt at baby cereal

Last night Alayna tried baby cereal for the first time. I made it homemade, using the baby cereal recipe found on the website. She enjoyed it!

My husband and I are not sure exactly how much actually got in her mouth, but she was so excited sitting in her high chair watching me cook it on the stove. She enjoyed eating it and made lots of silly faces.

I will keep everyone posted and as soon as I develop her pictures I'll post one of her first cereal experience!

Grinding it in small batches must be the key - I've been doing it all in one go!

 Getting Baby food smooth
by: Joanna

I am new at this blogging stuff so I am not sure how to respond to comments, but I was asked how I get the rice cereal to be smooth. What I do is I take the rice and blend it in the blender... I don't know if that makes a difference since I'm not doing it in the food processor... then I wisk it while it cooks.
To keep it from being bitty I just keep grinding it in the blender until it is almost like a powder... I blend smaller amounts at a time to get it nice and fine! I hope that helps..

 How did you get the rice smooth
by: Deanne

When I grind the rice in my food processor it stays 'bitty'. How did you get it to be powdery and not so lumpy?

 Homemade baby rice is the best
by: Kim B

Good for you, making your own cereal. I've started doing that as well - the packets of infant rice are so tasteless. My husband says it looks like wallpaper paste! lol
