Rice cereal...baby poison?!

ok ok...if I'm going to do this blog thing, I actually need to blog..

Research point #1: Do not feed your baby rice cereal!

What?! I know this goes against all logic and advise that we have been given for years by doctors, mothers, etc.. There are scientifically proven studies that say eating rice, corn, oatmeal and other cereals before the age of 1 is actually bad for your child's digestive system as they lack the enzyme to digest cereals until their first birthday! So basically, they eat it and just poop it out and can cause gassy, bloaty, fussy babies, as well as this could be a possible link to increase in allergies in kids. Ok moms I'm on the case, more research to come.

Oh and let's not forget about the first kid, the cereal loving, eczema, food allergy, picky eater...hmmm, connection?
