Baby rice is a popular first food choice for babies when it's time to start their weaning journey. Visit Mother&Baby for the lowdown on this first food favourite.
You've probably heard of a lot of people using baby rice as the very first food to feed their baby when weaning and this is mainly because it's easy for your little munchkin to digest. But there are plenty of other positives too. Baby rice is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans as well as hypoallergenic so your baby is unlikely to have any bad reactions to it.
A study revealed that certain brands of baby rice and cereals made with baby rice contained potentially harmful toxins such as arsenic and cadmium. These toxins are able to able to enter the product through contaminated water which is used to irrigate rice crops in certain countries. Due to the small amount of baby rice your child is likely to eat while weaning, it is unlikely to cause long-term health problems although we recommend moving on from baby rice after a couple of days.
