I don't see how it can hurt. I feed my kids rice from the rice cooker and they are just fine. my son is 15 months and my daughter turns 3 in april

Well, toddler food for sure. I would probably use commercially prepared rice cereal for baby's first food. But as you are introducing them to solids, why not? I put my kids' food in the blender. They ate what we ate (okay, not steak!) but pureed.

Absolutely - it cook it perfectly and if you add 1/ 2 cup more of the veggie/ mushroom or other stock it makes it really soft and easy for the child to digest. Good Job!

Why not? It's a great start to introduce them to solids!

My wife has been feeding all three of our kids rice from the rice-cooker from age one and up.
