Weetbix

Weetbix (whole wheat breakfast cereal) can be introduced around 6 months. It's a popular first cereal in Australia and New Zealand.

How to serve at this age

6-9 months: Crumble and mix with breast milk or formula to smooth consistency. 9-12 months: Serve pieces softened with milk. 12-24 months: Offer as regular breakfast cereal.

Nutrition

Good source of fiber and B vitamins. Contains iron (often fortified). Whole grain goodness.

A note from the editors

Let Weetbix sit in milk briefly to soften to desired consistency. Mash well for younger babies.

Good to know

Contains wheat gluten. Softens quickly with milk. Choose low-sugar varieties or plain Weetbix.
