Would this be a good first food to introduce in lieu of the brown rice cereal?

Suggest you consider some other brands. It has an awful smell like spoiled nuts in its recent products which I received.

The company states that it's for babies "who are ready to move beyond the rice cereal". So you may want to take that into consideration. Other than that, I see no problem, especially if your baby isn't allergic to oatmeal (which is the main ingredient).

I have not tried brown rice but I think the times are longer than nessary. Progressive's web site is not at all helpeful so experminenting will be your best guide. Sorry.

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

I currently use a 'level 3' for rice cereal in the standard avent nipple. I haven't tried to feed my son rice cereal out of the natural flow nipple, but I imagine it would be similar to the standard.

Yes Mia, I pop them in the microwave ( in a glass bowl) on defrost. If the food is watery, then add Baby Rice Cereal. We use brown rice cereal

i`ve made regular brown rice (directions included) but don't know about the others. Love this item though.

we've been cooking all kinds of combinations of brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc. works great! you may have to adjust water amounts, but beyond that, nothing special required.

I hadn't noticed the comments on the cooker not being suitable for brown/other rices. I typically steam/cook brown rice and it seems to do okay. Some people might comment that the rice is perhaps a little stiff, (its not crunchy by any stretch, but sometimes it seems a bit underdone), but I find the brown rice is very edible. I've also steamed quinoa successfully.

You would have to experiment a bit. I have never had success but you may. I have, however, had success with the Uncle Ben's Converted Wild Rice (the minute knid). I just don't have the patience for the regular kind. I do make rice'n'beans in it. Let me know if you have success.

Depends on the appetite of the child. Could consider Ms Bento if the child is hungrier.

No rice noodles, just cereal and you can start to give it to 4 months old baby mixed with formula or breast milk.

Yes. Your texture would be different. If you can find a rice yogurt from the grocery store you can use that as your starter culture. Otherwise use coconut, almond or soy, then reserve a cup of your yogurt each time you make a batch to use as a starter for future batches.

I've eaten this but personally I would skip it and go for Special K Nourish or Bob's Red Mill Muesli. For hot cereal the Nourish can't be beat for taking away hunger. The muesli mixed with flavored yougurt the night before and refrigerated is really good, filling and you don't even think about eating.

I don't see why not. I gave it to my daughter when she started cereal until about 1 year old. Now, she is 18 months and I give her regular oatmeal with maple/brown sugar.

It is a complete protein. So if you want to replace your white rice with this and other grains it will serve a s a better source of protein/carb that your body can utilize. Hope that makes sense.

It should work with both. Just watch out for the right rice-to-water ratio. Usually brown rice requires more water.

I haven't tried lentils, but we've done quinoa (white rice setting) and faro and hulled barley (brown rice setting) with great success so lentils should work. I'd probably start with the white rice setting but with some extra water 1:2 lentils:water.
