Hi! It's very interesting how you made the cereal. Rice is also one of the main foods here in Indonesia but we cook it differently for baby cereal. Keep on writing!

In America, it is not recommended to give rice cereal to babies nowadays due to high arsenic levels found in rice. There is a new study from 2014 that encourages parents to avoid infant rice cereal - http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/01/how-much-arsenic-is-in-your-rice/index.htm .

Unfortunately this is due to arsenic found in the soil in the United States. So parents are encouraged to choose a different form of cereal, such as oatmeal, for babies.
