5. Select only fortified versions:
Always choose iron-fortified rice cereal for your babies. Most infant cereals are fortified with iron and other nutrients, but you can look for plain rice cereal with no fortification if you are sure the baby is getting enough iron from other food sources, confirm this with your pediatrician.
6. Check other ingredients:
Some infant rice cereal makers may add a small quantity of soy lecithin as a food additive. Avoid these versions if your baby is just beginning solids. It is best to start with one type of grain at a time when you introduce solid foods to the baby.
