    Thanks guys. I will check out the labels and compare the different brands next time I'm shopping. I already have the vegemite this time around though.

    All of mine have had it from 6-7 months and loved it.
    We go through a huge jar in 1-2 weeks

    My DS had it quite early, about 8 months I think, loves the stuff (so do I)

    There is a kids vegemite which I think has less salt - however we use the full strength stuff here

    It's like everything, all in moderation I would think a cheesymite scroll would be perfectly fine

    Same as pp's was if the first foods my kids had. I personally be more worried about the cheese, used to back my kids up something shocking

    After JLeigh told me there was a kids one a couple of weeks ago I went and bought it. So ds has a little bit on about a qtr a piece of bread probably every day and he's 13 months. Prior to that his diet didn't have any salt in it.

    There have been several articles warning about the sodium content in Vegemite and that it's not suitable for children. Even the "My First Vegemite" still has a lot of salt. Just be aware. Personally, I feel that 6 -12 months is way too early for Vegemite.
