Fortunately, newborn mammals (other than lab rats) tend to get all their early nutrition from their mothers' milk. Should be quite some time before human babies are exposed to OSR/maize/whatever containing even the tiniest amounts of pesticide, by which time their brains are unlikely to be affected.

Apparently there is a lot of arsenic in rice
Whatever you do don't eat the healthy brown rice most of it is in the husk :)
