Does my daughter need barley cereal?

Question

My daughter just recently starting eating oatmeal cereal. She has already done rice cereal and was fine with it so I tried her on some oatmeal. Should she try some barley cereal after she has done oatmeal for a while or can she just move on to vegetables ? Is barley cereal something infants need to be introduced to? Thanks for the advice :)

Answer 1

I believe the order is rice, oatmeal, barley, mixed grain.  Then onto veggies and fruits.  But the barley is funky!  My son did not like it.  We tried it for like 3 days to make sure he had no allergy and then we chunked it and moved onto mixed grain =0)  A tip that helped us with fruits is to mix it into the cereal.  Sometimes the plain fruit would make him have a "sour face."  But mixed into the cereal he ate is just fine until he got used to it.
