advice please on homemade baby rice

[Guest guest]

Hi, just started weaning my DS on homemade baby rice, but a bit worried

about the consistency of it. I have decided to make all his early food

because a. I am really bored and b. I am a strict vegetarian and dont like

the list of additives in the baby jars.

My receipe book said to use short grain rice...well you cant buy that in a

supermarket, so I bought pudding rice...which I assume IS short grain...am I

right?

Secondly, how runny do you make it at first. I liquidised it with breast

milk, and it was a sort of runny soupy consistency. It ran off the spoon.

Should it be thicker? First time round he threw it all up everywhere, but

today he ate a spoonful and was ok except terrible wind...which meant he

grizzled all afternoon.

Thanks for your help.
