Breakfast cereals at one?

[DuckWaddle]

I'm clueless so any help would be appreciated! My dd is approaching 1 and I'm not sure what breakfast cereals she's allowed. She's not a fan of porridge and didnt like baby rice. I'm a bit worried about salt in adult cereals. Anyone got any ideas?

Mine love ready brek mixed with fruit like a chopped banana, raisins or berries. The bags of frozen berries are great in the winter.

Does it have to be cereal though? How about scrambled egg or beans on toast, eggy bread, beans and sausage, ham cheese and and a croissant or blueberry pancakes?

Ready brek is fine, no added sugar or salt. Mini shredded wheat if she has enough teeth. Weetabix/oatibix

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Do they need teeth for mini shredded wheats Robot? Would have loved you trying to explain that one to my dd when she was 6 months

[RobotHamster]

Haha, I suppose not, no was just thinking gumming shredded wheat might take a while

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

She are everything with gusto at 6 months, just wish she was the same now!

1 Weetabix contains 0.12g of salt. For babies over one, the recommended limit is 2g per day so this would be fine.

noble are you becoming MN's resident salt content guru?

currently weaning a 7 month old and a bit obsessed!

Reading the packets gives me something to do while she chucks it all on the floor

Reading the packets gives me something to do while she chucks it all on the floor. Had to at that one noble. At least you are keeping everyone informed on the salt levels. Made me chuckle when you said you'd been googling the salt levels in cheese

We give DD muesli.

the sainsbury's 50% fruit muesli is good as it has no nuts in it (green packet)

and we give it in a bowl, with a spoon, with almond milk (but you can use cow's milk of course!).
she always feeds herself.

but put her on a messy mat on the floor

[nickelbabe]

noble - you needa messy mat too!
My sister bought us a cheapy one from wilko's and we use it all the time

mine loved mini shreddies (no milk) in a bowl with some chopped up fruit or any cereal that is easy to pick up

Weetabix with fruit is DS's favourite, he would have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

[KatAndKit]

I give DS age 17 months rice krispie multigrain shapes, can be eaten with fingers or spoon. He has them 2 or 3 days a week.

Great- thanks all for your posts!

I have a 7 month old, he loves porridge with fruit but wont entertain it without, he also enjoys half a weetabix . I hadnt even thought about the salt content in cheese until i read it somewhere the other day. (Stupid me)
