gluten free options for weaning

[Art]

I am currently weaning my 5 month old and have read in several books that at this age he can eat oat cereal, barley cereal and flaked rice. Are these special baby products and where can I buy them. ( I already have baby rice).

The current advice seems to be to keep your babies on a gluten free diet until 6 months.
Oats and barley both contain gluten.
if you read the packets of the breakfast cereals in the baby section of supermarkets boots etc they tell you what is in them and if they are gluten free usually have it written in fairly large print on them.
Other than baby rice the only other baby cereal that I found without Gluten was banana breakfast which was a Heinz Organics range ( I think there is also another flavour). Otherwise you are off to the health store and getting ready with that blender -unless anyone else knows any different?
I had great fun with reading the the packets as my DS has excema as does DH and my dad is coeliac so I was advised by the doctor to keep him gluten free for as long as possible _ I think that we made it to 9 months so I did a lot of reading packets in the meantime.

The 'Baby Organix' brand of foods is very good, I used them when weaning my baby. They are labelled very well and many (if not all) are gluten free as I recall. They are pricer than others I admit. My sun loved the Banana flavour cereal and one called 'sunshine breakfast' it was a nice mixtured flavour of other fruits.

Obviously each persons choice is their own, but the reason I went with the'organix' range was due to a report in 'which magazine' at the time. It surveyed various brands of baby foods and the organix range came out top due to many things but I liked the fact that they don't add sugar! I was appalled at the brands that did and in such huge amounts as well!! (I won't name names but it was very surprising the names you'd think you could trust but really you couldn't!)
