DS is just 4 1/2 months so we have started him on the baby cereal. So far he's had the rice and we've just started introducing him to barley. Already it looks like there's a definite favorite. It takes half the time to get the same amount of the barley in as it takes to get the rice in. We haven't tried the others yet but if he continues to have a clear favorite, is it okay to feed him primarily that kind? Should I keep trying to get him to eat the rice or can he just have the barley since we don't have to fight him on it? Did any of your babies have a clear preference to one kind?
Once you know that he is ok w/ barley, you can mix the 2 together, w/ portion of barley being larger since he likes it more. My DS's favorites change all the time, depands on his mood as guess.
