Think the sugar content might be a bit on the high side? You could try making it yourself. A little wont do any harm but you don't really want to encourage a sweet tooth.

Yeah, I agree. It might be a bit too high in sugar as they aren't really made for babies. It's easy to make your own though. Just some cooked rice with a bit of milk until it has the right consistency (you are supposed to use pudding rice, but I use basmati and it works fine). If you are doing finger foods, I also pureed a bit of rice in milk with a hand blender, added some cinnamon and just a very small pinch of sugar and then baked it in a muffin tray so it was kinda like a little mini baked rice pudding. It was really good (I ate quite a few myself!) and my daughter loved it.
