Which one are you starting your LO on and why?  Is one better than another?

    We skip them altogether and start w "regular" solids, but if I were to pick b/n the two I'd pick oatmeal as it would be less constipating.

    Definitely oatmeal. It's more nutritious and apparently lately there has been arsenic in all rice products.

    We started with oatmeal. Dr. said either would be fine. I went with oatmeal b/c I thought it might have more fiber. DD likes it...

    it has been there for some time but is just now making the press circuit.  Rice from CA and other countries is okay.

    We started with single grain rice. Then after 3 weeks moved to single grain oatmeal. DS loved both!!!
