Cornflakes
My hv has suggested that i should give my lo cornflakes for breakfast as a better option to weetabix as the salt content in weeabix is a little high. I didn't think cornflakes were ok to give to them just yet? My lo is 9 1/2 months.
Just wondered if any of you have given your lo's cornflakes?
Thanks xx

They seem a lot sweeter than weetabix.
Wow I didn't know that we give our lo Weetabix and he's 7 months old. Sorry no idea about cornflakes I expected them to have lots of sugar. Just shows how hard it is to find food safe for our lo's isn't is?
