Readybrek - is it ok for babies?

[Lucy]

Hi

I know Olivia is a long way off weaning yet but I think I remember somewhere on here someone saying you shouldn't give Readybrek to babies instead of porridge. I can't find the thread now so does anyone know why not? I had it for breakfast and, oh my what an idle mind I must have (!), it made me think of that thread.

Anyone?

Thanks
Lucy

YUM YUM ready brek...loads of syrup mmmm.
Is it becuse it has sugar in it?

It was me that didn't think you could give it to babies, but I think Urchin showed me a link that said that it's ok from 6 months

It contains gluton which babies shouldn't have til they are 6 months old. Weetabix is the same. Rusks also contain it and suger but yu can get gluton and sugar free ones.

yeh my health visitor said not to give eva things like readybrek and wheatabix until she is 6months. it was just in a lust of stuff she can't have yet that she read to me.

thanks everyone, I know it sounds awfully premature to be thinking about foods to wean but I dont know the first thing about it so to get wee bits understood when I think of them will help!

Cheers
