dairy/soy free rice cereal

junebride060306

LO's GI doc said we could start rice cereal for breakfast and dinner. and do it for a month before adding in veggies and/or maybe consider veggies at 6 months. LO is 5.5 mths right now. GI said to look for beech nut rice cereal that says dairy/soy free and that a lot of rice cereals have soy.... anyone know about the earth's best rice cereal? and other brands? are they also dairy/soy free. 

I wound up getting the plum organics and the earths best rice cereals (going to return one of them I think but not sure which one! both on sale at target). they didn't have beech nut. I didn't like that the happybellies one had DHA added etc. but liked that the plum organics one had pre and probiotics. both appear dairy/soy free. I posted on both companies FB pages asking and plum organics got back to me and said it was dairy/soy free.  

anyone have experience with MSPI and rice cereal and know for sure which are safe? TIA!

we used Earths best cereals and it was milk/soy free.  Actually my son is 2 and still eats the EB oatmeal every morning (with added flaxseed meal).

My son has a milk/soy allergy so i know for sure it doesn't have it.

Does the Gerber baby cereal have milk/soy in it?

from what I've heard yes, but I haven't looked it up yet as I was planning on earth's best or plum organics cereals

decided to look it up.... the regular rice cereal has both soybean oil and soy lecithin. the organic only has soy lecithin. we avoid both.
