About Babyfood, cereal, rice, dry
Dry infant rice cereal is a fine, single-grain powder milled from rice and meant to be stirred into breast milk, formula or water until it reaches a smooth, soupy texture. For decades it was the classic first solid food — bland, gentle and easy to thin to any thickness — though many families now begin with a wider variety of purées and soft foods.
The numbers here are for the dry powder; once it is mixed with liquid the calories per spoonful fall steeply. Per 100 grams the dry cereal carries about 391 calories and is mostly starch — roughly 78 grams of carbohydrate — with little fiber. Its single most important feature is iron: it is heavily fortified, supplying around 47 milligrams per 100 grams. Babies are born with iron stores that begin to run low at about six months, which is precisely why iron-fortified infant cereal exists.
It is usually offered thin at first and gradually thickened as a baby learns to manage texture. Plain rice cereal has almost no flavor of its own, so it is often combined with a fruit or vegetable purée. As with all infant feeding, when and how to start solids is best decided with a pediatrician — this is general information, not medical advice.
