Cereal rice and oatmeal?

Question

Do babies have to have these or can I just skip them and do veggies and fruit for starting solids?

Answer

You can definitely skip. They don’t have a lot of nutritional value anyways.

Answer

My public health nurse suggested starting with the cereals just because babies iron levels start to deplete around 6 months and the cereals are high in iron. Also suggested starting with iron rich foods 👍

Answer

We absolutely skipped! Started with a good base of veggies for the first few weeks , then fruit etc.

Answer

Optional. Some research shows there is no nutritional value. Up to you though.

Answer

You can and should skip baby cereals

Answer

My dr suggested we do it for the extra iron. Discuss it with your pediatrician.

Answer

We never used them with our first, won’t be with this one either. Straight to cooked veggies with baby led weaning at 6 months.
