Global · Baby Food · 12 min total

A simple, homemade baby rice cereal made with just two ingredients—perfect for introducing solids to your little one.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup white rice (such as jasmine or basmati)
• 1 cup water or breast milk/formula

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and has absorbed most of the liquid.
4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the cooked rice to a blender or food processor.
5. Blend until smooth, adding a little more water, breast milk, or formula if needed to achieve a thin, runny consistency.
6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a creamier texture, use breast milk or formula instead of water.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Always test the temperature before feeding to baby.
