Why White Rice Cereal Should Not Be Your Baby's First Food with Alan Greene, MD

24 min • 9 september 2021

#160: Did your doctor tell you to start solid foods with iron-fortified white rice cereal? Today’s guest Dr. Alan Greene is working hard to change the way physicians talk to parents and caregivers about starting solid foods...and he wants everyone to stop recommending white rice cereal as a first food for babies!

Dr. Alan Greene founded the White Out movement in 2010 to educate pediatricians and parents about the drawbacks of reliance on white rice cereal. In this episode he’s explaining the history of the White Out movement, the negative impact white rice cereal has on the transition to solid foods and suggestions for other wholesome starter foods that babies can safely self-feed.

Listen to this episode to learn:

How white rice cereal prevents the taste acquisition babies should be experiencing from other foods
Why pediatricians are still recommending white cereal even though it can actually be harmful
Better iron foods for babies and how you can spread the White Out message in your own circles
