  • About
Many parents start infants off with baby rice. I understand the reasoning – that it is midway between milk and solid food – but in practice it didn’t work for my children. One of the fascinating things about how babies and small children eat is that they regulate their intake themselves: they eat as much as they need; if they eat less one day or for several days, they will make up for the deficit in calories later. Whenever I added baby rice to fruit or vegetable purées, my babies would eat as much as they felt they needed, as if what they were eating was just fruit or vegetable. They couldn’t, it seemed, detect the rice. For when the grain swelled in their stomachs later, it transpired that they had eaten too much; consequently, and efficiently, they vomited the excess up. This isn’t harmful, but I felt it unhelpful to interfere with the fine calibration of their digestive systems.
