As you approach the six-month mark and start thinking about introducing solid foods to your baby's diet, many questions arise regarding readiness, appropriate texture, and the flavors your little one will accept. This is where Cerelac comes in as a practical choice that offers a smooth and clear start.

Before choosing, it is important to watch for signs of readiness, such as sitting with support and showing interest in food. Don't look for perfection from the first try; the most important thing is building a positive relationship with food.

Nutritional Value: More Than Just a Meal

The name Cerelac is linked to the first food journey. The concept is based on grains fortified with vitamins and minerals, prepared in minutes. Cerelac stands out for being fortified with Iron, a crucial element after six months for cognitive development, along with Vitamins A, C, D, and Zinc for immunity and bone growth.

When talking about Cerelac, options usually start with Rice for its neutral taste and easy digestibility, followed by Wheat and Oats, leading up to grains mixed with fruits. Every transition is a calculated step to introduce the baby to new tastes.

Cerelac Stages by Age and Suggested Flavors

6 to 7 Months (The Start): Start with a very smooth texture, similar to thick soup, using Rice Cerelac. Offer two small spoons first and watch for cues.
7 to 9 Months (Variety): Expand flavors to Wheat or Oats. You can increase the thickness slightly to train the baby on mouth and tongue movements.
9 to 12 Months (Texture): The texture becomes denser, and richer blends of grains and fruits (like apple or banana) can be introduced, ensuring very small pieces and sufficient softening.

Safe Preparation and Allergies

Proper preparation is the foundation of a comfortable experience. Use boiled and cooled water or appropriate milk according to package instructions. Follow the "one new food at a time" rule, waiting two days to observe for any allergic reactions.

Maintain a clean environment during preparation. It is useful to review reliable complementary feeding principles from the World Health Organization to understand general guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When should I start giving Cerelac to my baby?

Usually from the sixth month, when signs of readiness appear, such as sitting with support and opening the mouth for the spoon. Start with a very small amount and a smooth texture.

Which flavor should I offer first?

Usually start with Rice for its light texture and neutral taste. Then try Wheat or Oats, followed by grains with fruits gradually based on the baby's acceptance.

Should I mix Cerelac with water or milk?

Follow the instructions on the package. It can be prepared with water or with milk suitable for your baby. In case of milk allergy, stick to the alternatives recommended by the doctor.

How do I store the pack after opening?

Close it tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. Use it within the period specified on the package and never re-serve leftovers that have touched the baby's mouth.

What if my baby refuses the taste?

Try again after two days with a different texture or temperature. A baby may need multiple attempts before accepting a new flavor, which is normal.
