I think Gina means that once rice is tolerated at 11am, move it to later time...lots of other 'experts' suggests similar as if the baby reacts to something this will happen in the afternoon rather than in the middle of the night!
Babyrice is actually not that bad. It is easily digestible and contains a good amount of calories. I would suggest initially mixing vegetable purees with the rice (vegetable as it is better to go for savoury rather than sweet) as veg/fruit purees on their own are very low in calories with the result that your baby is likely to wake up again (if s/he was sleeping thru) during the night. I'd recommend staying with the dreamfeed/10.30/11pm feed until LO is well on his/her way to protein..
Try Readybrek for breakfast - recommended by my HV - (better in terms of low salt/fibre etc than Weetabix and glutenfree).
Also, oats on their own are, although not completely gluten free, very low in gluten (in fact, most people with coeliac disease - i.e. gluten allergy - can tolerate normal oats).
Why this venom for Gina? She is actually not all that bad...we're grown-ups and should be able to choose what we like (i.e. quite a lot of her recommendations on timings and food are very sensible ) and don't like (controlled crying!).
Also, I mix aspects of Babyled Weaning with 'normal' solid introduction....this way my little one is now at 6.5 months finger feeding rusks, sweet potato, porridge (messy!). I generally let him feel all food and give him a spoon to play with. Also, tend to give him finger foods before he has his puree/mashed meal at 6pm...(he will normally have had his protein meal at noon). So far, results has been great - eats everything!
Sorry...this really has been longwinded but hope it helps.
