The Best Baby Cereals For Your Infant, According to RDs

Gerber Organic Rice Cereal ($24)

Experts were split on rice cereal for infants due to potential arsenic levels, with Rifkin suggesting parents consider sticking with other options, like oatmeal. Larouche also understands the concerns. Rice tends to absorb more arsenic than other grains, she points out.

But Larouche ultimately OK'd it if a patient's family is interested in feeding their child Gerber Organic Rice Cereal. Just make sure it's not the only source of grains or foods your infant is getting. "Arsenic is a natural element that can be found in air, water, and soil. So for this reason, using a variety of cereals with different grain profiles will help limit arsenic exposure."

Overall, reviewers did mention that Gerber's Organic Rice Cereal was easy on their child's stomach and a good way to introduce solids.
