Is rice flour okay?

i do not agree with the saying that rice protein mimics milk protein. the problem with rice is that it is a grain, and grains are EXTREMELY hard for kids under 1-2 years of age to digest. babies lack an enzyme called amalyse to digest grains. i did not give my son any prepackaged snacks like that for a few reasons, one being that a lot of them have ingredients in them that i wasnt too fond of. there are a few alternatives, like these organic corn puffs i give my son. he likes the peanut butter flavor best, and yes i started it around 6 months because we do not have any peanut allergies in the family. that was just a personal choice.

Cooper and Evie appear to be 11 days apart, and it looks like were are on the same track regarding solids. Evie did poorly on rice and is great on the oatmeal, so I had the same worries about the sweet potato puffs also. However, they have been working fine. She does not have her pincer grasp mastered, nor does she know how to chew really. I don’t think she’s that interested in them. I’ve fed her a few everyday and there’s been no reaction. I think I’m giving them to her b/c it’s fun for me to watch.
