How often are you serving the rice cereal and how much are your little ones eating.

    We've just been giving her a tablespoon of dry rice cereal  mixed with enough formula to make it a slightly runny consistency (maybe 3 tablespoons?)  once a day.  After a couple of days of this, I added a second daily feeding of pureed veggies in the afternoon.  (Was doing BLW but my doctor guilted me into purees and cereal..we still ofter whole foods occasionally.)

    rice cereal once a day 1 tablespoon and about 4 tablespoons of formula to start. I will start putting a little less formula next time.

    DD turned 6 months on the 10th, and I started giving her rice last month. I started with a very small amount in her formula and upped it a little bit. Once you introduce baby food, its a good idea to make sure your little one is getting it at least twice a day (8 tablespoons) to boost iron intake and such. 

    I've found Gerber's menu tool extremely helpful for the amounts and such:
