A good choice for baby’s first food – new SunRice Baby Rice Cereal
Starting your baby on solid foods is an exciting milestone in their development. All babies are different, so wait until your baby is showing a number of signs before starting them on solids. Your baby may seem hungry after breastfeeding or formula feeds and they may make chewing movements and reach out when seeing you eating.
Most babies start solids between 5 and 7 months of age. It is recommended by the Ministry of Health, Plunket and the World Health Organisation to wait until 6 months before starting your baby on solids.
Baby rice cereal is recommended as a first food for infants by Plunket* and the Ministry of Health** as plain, smooth and soft foods are good for getting your baby used to solids.

We gave members with babies aged 5 to 10 months the opportunity to trial and review SunRice Baby Rice Cereal. See their photos below and scroll down to read more reviews.
Smooth and creamy. Easy to mix with both fruit and vegetables. Packaging great with the easy resealable top. Baby loved both flavours. Would definitely buy again.
My 7 month old tried the SunRice Baby Rice Cereal today for the first time and she loved it and ate every last drop! She prefers her foods to be more smooth so the texture was perfect for her as we have found some other brands aren’t smooth enough for her liking.
My son had the plain one as a base for the stew we ate for dinner and he ate it all.
He had the veggie one by itself and loved it, it’s great to see a veggie product as a lot of baby food is fruit based.
To make it a bit easier I’m going to add an old formula scoop to the bag so I know how much cereal to add (also easier if someone else is making her food for her, eg I can just say add 1 scoop or 2 with 50ml formula to get the right consistency). I love that it’s got no added sugars and has no artificial flavour but is a good source of iron to help her developing body.
The mixed vege flavour smells very pleasant, makes me want to eat it myself.
So easy to mix, lovey and smooth and so easy for baby to eat. Great to have the added iron. We will be using this SunRice Baby Rice Cereal again and again. It is good that it also comes in the vegetable variety, with carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin that is an easy way to introduce these vegies.
Usually with other brands he will only eat it with another flavour added but I love with this there was the choice for mixed veges and he loved it just as it was. This makes it so much more convenient when we are on the go as we don’t have to worry about taking something to add into it.
My 7 month old son absolutely loves his sun rice baby rice! We mix our with breast milk and he devours it every time! Thank you so much for this amazing product! We will be looking out for it at the supermarket!

always looking for new foods for our baby to try
Would love to have my 6m old boy to try this, he has just stared on solids and I find he’s quite picky lol. Am very interested in trying the vege flavour
I have a 6.5 month old but find there isn’t much variety in baby cereal on the market at this stage so would love to give SunRice Baby Rice Cereal a go for her as a different alternative to the brand she is trialing at the moment.
My baby boy is almost 6 months and will be starting solids soon. So we’re sourcing different products to determine which will be more suitable.
I bet my baby would love to try this! He’s tried a few tspoons of apples, carrots and pumpkins so far and looooves it
My daughter is 6months old and is already loving solids. I’ve been using baby rice to thicken some watery homemade purees and she loves it. I haven’t tried this brand yet but have seen it on the shelf at my local countdown. Would love to give it a go.
My girl is 6 months and just starting on solids and we are always looking for new foods to try! I also have a public Instagram account with 1700 followers and we are brand reps for some business so we can also post on there too !
My Son will be 4 months old next week. Would love to try this out when we start him on solids.
Hi there
I would love to try this product. My baby boy is 6 months old and I am always looking for new products to try and also for variety. We have been in solids for a about one month now. Thanks
My baby 5 months old now he just has started solids but seems like he is not interested baby rice I cooked so far…. Would be niceto see if he likes this product or not đź‘Ť
My son is 6 months old, I haven’t tried him on rice cereal yet. Only had veges and purée meat. This would be a great next step.
My boy was born prematurely so even though he was born in May 2020, he only could start solids now. Iron fortified rice cereal seems to be a great idea for him, especially when he has amenia
Would love to try this product for my baby. Aa being a vegitarian This will be a really good start for him.
My baby girl will be starting solids soon. This would be perfect!
My son is 7mo and has been eating another brand of baby rice with his food pouches at lunch time…..he’s not really phased by it and doesn’t really eat it. I’d love to try this brand, especially if it’s flavoured to get his appetite up.
This would be awesome as our wee Harlowe who is just starting on solids. She is five months old and eager to have some solids, this sounds like a perfect start for her.
Five months and a good way to transition from solids
We would love a chance to trial this baby rice cereal. Always looking for new foods for our baby to try
I have a 6.5 month old daughter who I’m sure would love to try this! Aleah already loves baby rice but hasn’t tried a mixed vegetable flavored one – I’m sure it would be a hit!
I would love to try this with my bub starting food soon it would be a great starter
Female aged 5mths. I would like to reveiw the Baby Rice because she has not started solids yet and this would be good for her to start on.
This would be great for us to trial. Our baby has just turned six months old today so we will be trying food very soon! i love that it will provide him some iron to boost his levels and that it has no added sugar!
I have a 5 month old who is just about to start solids so this would be the perfect way to start his food journey:)
My baby will be 6months old on the 12th Feb. she has just started solids. This would be great to introduce to her
With a 6 month old nephew I’m sure he would love to try this at Aunties house. He’s loving trying new food so no doubt this would fit that category 🙂
I would like to give my 7month old son, a go on this, he loves to eat haha and i love introducing him to new tastes and textures
Hi there
I’ve a 4 month old who I am soon going to be starting on solid foods in a few weeks time. I gave my older kids baby rice as their first solid food and so this would be a good start for my bub.
Thx
I would like to to try this for my almost 6 months old baby please. This would be a great start to eat rice as we all eat rice at home.
5 months .I would love to review the baby rice cereal as I am finding that my daughter is still hungry after her normal formula milk and is very interested in foods that we eat .so I would love to try the baby rice with her
My Baby Boy is 6months old and has taken to solids very good, enjoying all the different flavours, he hasn’t tried rice yet and this would be awesome for him to try out.
