Does Anyone Else Mix Rice Cereal With Their Baby’s Vegetables?
My baby doesn’t like to eat the rice or oat cereal with just breastmilk or formula. So, I mix it in with his vegetables or fruit. My Mom says this is weird and she’s never heard of it before. Does anyone else do this to get their baby to eat cereal?

I do that! My daughter loves it and seems to become more full off of it. I also mix peaches, pears, and pineapple baby food with it too. She loves it!

no because i really never used the stuff because theres no point- they dont need it- if she doesnt want it wouldnt give it to her- you can to make it thicker though

i would mix it with a lil bit of water and juice…… it worked like a charm and i would also do it the way you do……

It is absolutely not weird to do this. Good for you. You are creative enough to find a way for your baby to eat his/her cereal. I did the same exact thing. Whatever works!

Don’t listen to your mother. I mixed my cereal with fruit for both of my kids. It was the only way I could get them to eat it. Just don’t make it too dry.

Yes I’ve done it in the past with some of my babies. The babies don’t seem to mind. I don’t have any babies but I work with them.

I just tried it about an hour ago. I got mixed reviews from my son he wasn’t happy with peas
I do add liquid to the cereal first.

I am pretty sure millions of mothers do it since it is suggested right on the box. I have 2 sons and did it with them both for the same reason. They wouldn’t eat it any other way. Another good mixer is applesauce.

Yes, I found baby food very runny so I did mix it with cereal for both of my children. But they would eat it plain with milk.

I did it all the time. Adding more to it will increase the thickness (I didn’t buy 3rd foods) and help to teach to chew.
Neither of my kids ate cereal any other way!
