Dr. Jalal Zuberi answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Generally, yes: Most babies tolerate rice and gluten-based staples well after the age of six months. As a general rule, you should give 1-2 weeks between starting any new foods at a time. Pl. make sure you get the infant checked at appointment times with the pediatrician to monitor growth and other developmental milestones. Good luck!
