Weetabix

[wurlywurly]

When are babies allowed to have weetabix???

after 6 months. make it watery as it bungs them up too. i find it gives dd immediate nappy rash even at 2 yrs.

from 6mo I think unless you're especially worried re allergies and want to hold off gluten for longer.

DS2 (6 months 3 weeks) has had it. No problems with bunging or nappy rash here. Phew! Nice if you mix it with some fruit too I think.

And be warned - it sets like concrete on the floor!

dont want to put you off but i once used weetabix for an april fool stunt which involved me telling my siblings the cat had thrown up and then eating it off the floor with a teaspoon before their horrified faces...

i think you're supposed to hold off on the wheat and gluten even without a family history of allergies

Ready Brek has a much nicer consistency than weetabix if you don't have any luck with it.

if you are worried about gluten (guidelines say try from 6 months so far as I'm aware), try an oats porridge - Oatsosimple or something.

oh its not for me, my sister wanted to know when her 8month old could have a go with weetabix.

what does it make them constipated? i thought it would do the opposite?

DS has had weetabix since 6 months with no probs. He poos very regularly! It was recommended by HV (who is fab).
