Questions about multi-grain bread.

[Moi]

Hi all,

I was wondering:
1) Why is it recommended that you don't give babies or toddlers multi-grain bread?
2) At what age can you give children multi-grain bread?

TIA.

its not? DD has been having multi grain bread since about 8 months old. Mayb its a choking thing?

Oh I've never heard of that one. Multigrain bread is the only bread we eat so DS has been having it since about 9 months. The grains just show up in his nappy.

Same...we only ever have multigrain, I find it lasts a lot longer than white bread.

And duh..I've just realised what the little black seeds are that keep coming out in DD's poo...lol. I was wondering what they were thinking she hasn't eaten anything with seeds like that in it..but must be from the bread!

I have been giving DD multi grain bread since she started solids.

My health nurse recommended multi grain over white, as it was less likely to form a big clump and be chocked on.....

I'm sure I was told that you are not supposed to give babies multi-grain bread so I've been giving DD wholemeal, but recently I started giving her multi-grain and couldn't work out what would be wrong with giving it earlier?

[M]umma[M]ia - I did wonder if the reason was because it could be a choking hazard but the grains are SO tiny they surely couldn't present a choking hazard.

Has anyone else been told not to give their babies bread with grains in it? Now I wonder why I was told that?
