no real harm, but its just not necessary

keep the baby on routine and swaddle (depends on the kid) and they will sleep quite well

Bad news man.
CNN- Arsenic, rice, and your baby's diet

Or if you want a link to the actual study

quote:

Conclusions and Relevance  Our findings indicate that intake of rice cereal and other rice-containing foods, such as rice snacks, contribute to infants’ Arsenic exposure and suggest that efforts should be made to reduce Arsenic exposure during this critical phase of development.

This cohort study seeks to determine the types and frequency of rice and rice-containing products consumed by infants in the first year of life and the association with arsenic biomarker concentrations.
