5.0 out of 5 stars Great single grain cereal, January 11, 2008

By	Agent99 (The Lehigh Valley) - See all my reviews

This is a great additive to my daughters formula. It keeps her filled up more than formula alone. The can is very handy, only wish they had included a scoop. I just use the scoop from the formula can and it works great too. This is much easier to measure and a lot less messy than the box rice and oatmeal cereals!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the box rice by far!, September 3, 2009

By	J. R. Cooke "NightEyes" (Fort Worth, Tx USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Whether or not it's right for you is up to you and your pediatrician to decide. We began adding it to our son's formula at 2 months because of health related issues. We currently use 1 scoop (scoop from Gerber formula can) of rice to 2 scoops of formula, and 4-5 oz of water. It mixes exceptionally well and is not "goopy" nor does it leave "rice-sludge" at the bottom of the bottle after feeding.
We love this, and buy it over the box cereal every time now. Even our daycare has commented on how much they like this over the traditional flakes of rice cereal. The can fits better in the pantry than the box, and is much cleaner since it isn't leaking flakes from the corners and the fold down spout. The cans stack easily, and are the same size and shape as Gerber's formula cans.
We initially purchased this from my wife's work, and when they ran out we switched back to box rice. It's cheaper from Amazon than it is at the local grocery stores. We're switching back to the can.


Pros
-It contains DHA to boost development.
-Dissolves better; its more of a powder than the flakes you get in the box of Gerber rice cereal.
-Because it dissolves better it is easier for the infant to drink, and easier to clean the bottle after feeding (large undissolved flakes don't clog the bottle).
-Packaging is much cleaner than the boxes of rice cereal available from Gerber.

Cons
-It's not Vegan (if you care, I don't, but some other posters obviously do).
-It does not come with a scoop. This is only a very minor inconvenience, as we, like the other poster, used the scoop from the can of Gerber formula that we use.

I highly recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gross!, October 11, 2009

By	ninja8tofu (north dakota) - See all my reviews

My baby really did not like eating this. I got this for the DHA thinking it would be so refined it wouldn't taste fishy. Well, my son usually takes regular rice cereal fine. I fed him this and at first he would gag and most if it came right back out. I tasted it and holy crap is it gross. It definitely has essence of fish. I tried his other rice cereal before too. It was just bland, rice cereal. This was just disgusting. Although, it might not be the taste that's making him gag. This stuff has a seriously weird texture. It must be the gelatin. It was really frustrating to me to mix up. I'd get it to what I thought was a good consistency and a few minutes later it would turn into this runny mess, sort of like paste. Awful! I threw the rest of the can away and went back to the regular stuff.
