Breakfast cereals and salt content for babies

I've just started weaning DD at 6 months, mainly doing BLW but also at breakfast have been offering her weetabix and ready-brek on a spoon. Otherwise it's toast with some kind of spread. I'd like to be able to give her cereal that DD1 eats like cornflakes, malties etc but am wondering whether I should steer clear for a while because of the salt? Although bread contains salt as well and she has toast after all. Maybe I should be cutting back on the toast as well. I find it hard to think of things for breakfast that actually has some nutrition, she has fruit too but I want to give her something more filling (eventually - at the moment she doesn't actually swallow an awful lot although she loves gumming it).

I would stick with the readybrek. Everything that isn't full of sugar is full of salt I found Sad

Breakfast - bananas, crumpets, bagel, toast, yoghurt, eggs, eggy bread. For BLW you can dampen some shredded wheat type cereal with yogurt and she can pick it up to munch on.

I gave bananas for about the first 3 months for breakfast though, TBH. Easier Grin
