Hi! Hey you make your own baby cereal? FAB! toast the rice then grind it? is that how?

Yes, I toast brown rice till golden in a dry pan, then wait for it to cool and store it in a jar. When I'm ready to cook some, I grind it in a small coffee grinder, and then cook it up like porridge with water and a pinch of salt. It only takes a few minutes. (Basically, I just follow the instructions in 'Feeding the Whole Family' by Cynthia Lair). It's true what she says, too - it does taste good enough for the whole family! I eat it with sliced banana and a dollop of natural yoghurt, and Lulu has it with a bit of pureed banana and breastmilk. :-)
