At around 16 weeks old my twin girls had got to th point they were waking every hour morning and night, i was just so tired and couldnt get anything done as i was feeding all the time.

When just beginning to ween my boys onto more solid foods I was advised by my health visitor and GP to use baby rice. As I was using Cow & Gate formula for their milk, at first I decided to stick with this brand and buy cow & gate baby rice. It is for babies 6months plus, which is usually when Health visitors now say you can begin to wean your baby. The box was the usual Cow & Gate design, a pale blue, with Cow & Gate in bright red writing at the top and a picture of a baby. A number 1 on the side which informs you that is one of the first food groups for your little one. Inside the box you have a silver pouch, full of white powder. There was ...  Read the complete review

As I understand, rice is a good choice for early weaning as, although terribly bland, it will introduce your baby to solid foods whilst not having an overpowering taste. After all until your baby embarks on the weaning process, they have until that point only experienced the taste of milk. We chose Cow & Gate baby rice quite simply as it was a recommended name and one that always seemed to be on the shelves. Prices may vary but to give you an example of cost Tesco stock this product at £1.52 for a 100g box. It is recommended to mix baby rice with a little of your ...  Read the complete review
