Multigrain cereal FAQs
Can babies have multigrain cereal?
Yes, babies can have multigrain cereal around 6 months once they’ve started showing signs that they’re ready to start solids and have already tried single grain cereals. It’s important to ensure that the grain cereal is age-appropriate, so always follow the age guidelines on the packages.
Is multigrain cereal good for babies?

When to start multigrain cereal for baby.
You can introduce multigrain cereal around 6 months, once your baby has tolerated single-grain cereals like rice or oats.
