Question

I am giving mixed grain cereal at stage 2. Should I also give whole wheat cereal?

Answer

It's best to avoid giving adult cereals to babies under the age of 12 months, as they contain too much salt and fibre for little tummies.

 

Unlike adults, babies should not eat too much fibre, as it can make their tiny tummies too full before they've eaten enough calories to grow. So it's best not to give whole wheat cereals that contain a lot of fibre until your little one is a bit older.
