Heinz baby rice is a mixture of Pure Baby Rice with vitamins and minerals. The rice is in a powdered format in a non-resealable foil bag inside cardboard packaging.
I used this product when starting to wean my son and initially mixed it with expressed breast milk or fomula.
The instructions gave a rough guideline as to the proportions to use initially, although this made the rice barely thicker than his usual milk and very difficult to spoon.
As we progressed with his weaning, I made the rice thicker. I found it difficult to mix as the fine powder is prone to clumping and formed lumps, which I had to fish out before giving it to my son. You also have to use it very soon after making it as it dissolves quickly and leaves you with a bowl of slightly thick milk.
That said, it is a good first food as it is very bland and does go to a smooth texture if you stir it long enough and fish out any lumps.
I wouldn't recommend it above other brands which are more 'flakes' of rice so mix in better and don't dissolve so quickly.
