do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
DD won't be starting solids for about a month but I'm just wondering... why do you give them rice, then oatmeal, then barley? why do you have to give them all three?

Re: do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
DS had some constipation issues, so the DR said to skip rice. So, we started with oatmeal and then onto barley. I read that staying too long on one food could lead to food sensitivity and picky-ness.

All foods are getting their litle systems ready for food and testing for allergies. Oh and getting them used to different tastes and textures

Re: do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
I never did with both girls. We skipped rice, went right to oatmeal with both, never did barley.
My ped told us it wasnt' necessary. I started solids at 6 months old with both.

Re: do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
we did rice and oatmeal. The ped said not to try barley because it can cause gas (which DD already has a problem with). We mainly stick to rice because she doesn't really like the oatmeal and doesn't eat much of it when it's offered to her.

I did - trial and error on my part though. Started with Rice, DS was getting constipated. Went on to Barley, DS had gas issues. Now we are BFF with Oatmeal

Re: do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
We were told to do all 3 cereals with 3-4 days with each cereal to check for allergies. I personally want to skip barley but was told not to. So, if DC for example, has a reaction to barley then you'll know which other barley containing foods to avoid in the future.

No, we skipped rice due to constipation issues with the rice starch in some formula and went straight to oatmeal. I only tried barley with him about 3 weeks ago b/c I kept forgetting to switch.
We started solids at 4 mos.

Re: do you have to try all 3 cereals first?
No, my pediatrician said you could go through all three or move on to fruits and veggies, it really doesn't matter.
The only thing she stressed was buying single grain cereals in the beginning so you can pinpoint any allergies.

Wow, we had a pretty similar experience. I give him oatmeal prob 6 days a week and one of the others once. He loves his oatmeal!

Nope. We started with oatmeal. He hated it. I went right to sweet potatoes and smiles.

I never did barley. Just rice and oatmeal. No particular reason at all.
