    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.

    My kids all had it from about 6 months.

    There's no way I'd give it to my baby. Their kidneys are very vulnerable to damage from too much salt. Doesn't it even say on the baby vegemite that they shouldn't have it before age 1
