Can anyone recommend good sugar free cereals for babies?

DS is nearly 14 months and a good eater. He generally has weetabix or porridge or toast but he loves Cheerios as a snack or a handful in a bowl with toast for breakfast.
However I’ve just clocked how much sugar is in them so am hoping to find a better alternative.
Seen there are quite a few out there but wondered if anyone could recommend any good sugar free cereals?

American Cheerios. They are different from the Cheerios available in Europe (made by Nestke). The US version is made by Post and contains almost no sugar. Available on-line and in some store line Partidges in London.

Sorry, made by General Mills.

The uk do not do a sugar free cereal similar to cheerios. Our cereals are fairly shocking in how much sugar they contain. Switch to shreddies which are slightly lower and just give a few on occasion, not every day.

I sometimes give my 2yo DS Bear Alphabites cereal. They still have sugar in, although they go for the "health" angle and use coconut blossom nectar instead of refined sugar. I don't buy into things replacing sugar with sugar, but this cereal does have less sugar/sweetness than most well known children's cereals so I buy it every so often for that reason. Overall he probably has a bowel once or twice a week. Other breakfasts are porridge, dippy eggs, and toast/crumpet with nut butter.

Thanks everyone. He really loves dry crunchy things at the moment so I’ll try shreddies and look at the suggestions on here

Kellogg’s do a kids cereal that Dd loves with zero added sugar. There’s strawberry, apple and carrot and then a beetroot one. I call them rainbow cereal. They’re actually quite delicious and all the flavouring/colours is from fruit and veg.

Bran flakes? My toddler really likes those. I feel like they must be low sugar!

Do rice krispies have much/any sugar? They are DS2's favourite (age 1))

Just checked...they do Sad

Bitesize shredded wheats?

They also do Oat Cheerios which have virtually the same sugar content as weetabix (0.1 g more) - they can be hard to find at times though. Both my dd & ds love them. I've also tried the new Kellogg's kids ones recently which have only a slightly higher sugar content (2.2g, rather than the 5+ g for normal Cheerios)
