Making rice cereal

According to the author of the article The low-down on making baby cereal - Suite101.com "Super Baby Food" is the best source for information on making baby cereal. To make rice cereal, the book recommends you buy whole-grain rice and put about 1/4 cup of it in your blender and blend for 2 minutes (a full 2 minutes) so that it is a full powder, with no big chunks. Then, boil 1 cup of water and slowly add the powdered rice while stirring and turn down the stove to the low. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. It should look like cereal when it is done. This makes three to four servings, depending on the appetite of your baby! And it will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also adjust the thickness by adding more water (or breastmilk before serving) or using a bit more powdered rice.
