Gerber Cereal with DHA, 8-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 6)

Whether or not it's right for you is up to you and your pediatrician to decide. We began adding it to our son's formula at 2 months because of health related issues. We currently use 1 scoop (scoop from Gerber formula can) of rice to 2 scoops of formula, and 4-5 oz of water. It mixes exceptionally well and is not "goopy" nor does it leave "rice-sludge" at the bottom of the bottle after feeding.

We love this, and buy it over the box cereal every time now. Even our daycare has commented on how much they like this over the traditional flakes of rice cereal. The can fits better in the pantry than the box, and is much cleaner since it isn't leaking flakes from the corners and the fold down spout. The cans stack easily, and are the same size and shape as Gerber's formula cans.

We initially purchased this from my wife's work, and when they ran out we switched back to box rice. It's cheaper from Amazon than it is at the local grocery stores. We're switching back to the can.

Pros

-It contains DHA to boost development.

-Dissolves better; its more of a powder than the flakes you get in the box of Gerber rice cereal.

-Because it dissolves better it is easier for the infant to drink, and easier to clean the bottle after feeding (large undissolved flakes don't clog the bottle).

-Packaging is much cleaner than the boxes of rice cereal available from Gerber.

Cons

-It's not Vegan (if you care, I don't, but some other posters obviously do).

-It does not come with a scoop. This is only a very minor inconvenience, as we, like the other poster, used the scoop from the can of Gerber formula that we use.

I highly recommend this product.

Very good deal when Subscribe and Save which we have delivered every 1-2 months.

Oatmeal DHA Cereal is not easy to find. Not available in most stores like Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Target, etc. I don't know why they carry the DHA Rice, but not the DHA Oatmeal Cereal.

Oatmeal Cereal my son eats mixed with breast milk and has no constipation issues like he had with the Rice. He started this cereal at 4 months old. Now he's 11 months. Really enjoys eating this still.

The 8 ounce canisters are better packed than box cereal I've opened. I will definitely keep feeding him this.

This is a great additive to my daughters formula. It keeps her filled up more than formula alone. The can is very handy, only wish they had included a scoop. I just use the scoop from the formula can and it works great too. This is much easier to measure and a lot less messy than the box rice and oatmeal cereals!

Seriously, how does a baby cereal touted as a good choice as a first baby food contain these big NO-NO ingredients?! How can it be labeled as "single grain"? There's no reason "oat flour" should contain wheat... I bought this thinking I could avoid supplementing with probiotics & dha... should have read more closely before purchasing.. Forget it, I'm going back to simply grinding up my own oatmeal.. sick of over paying for 'baby' cereal anyways...

My son loves this oatmeal, and we go through it so quickly that I'm glad to be able to order it in a pack of six canisters. I've previously bought this same product in boxes, and the canister design works so much better than the boxes. With the boxes, I always felt that I was having to throw away the last several tablespoons, because the packaging was so poorly designed. The canisters work well, and they can double as a cheap toy when the oatmeal is gone.

The taste seems to be good (though I often add some cinnamon for good measure), and I'm glad to know my son is getting DHA in his regular diet. Those with food allergy concerns should be aware that this product contains B Lactis cultures.
