Toddler nutrition question?

I have a 17 month old, and I do make sure she gets a wide variety of foods, and strive very hard to make sure her diet is healthly.
But I’m also a worry wart, and some of the time put Infant Rice cereal in her Whole milk, just for the extra nutrition, plus it has a large amount of iron, etc it puts my mind at ease……
Is this good for her, or is it bad?
Does anyone else do this?

I do! The ped said he had never met such a healthy kid!
