Lets talk about weetbix.

The quote on the box is ;

"Weet-Bix Kids with 1/2 cup of milk provides 1/3 of daily calcium & iron needs of children aged 1-7 years."

I don't interpret that to mean not for kids under 12 months at all. Kids under 12 months have a different calcium and iron need to those over 12 months. So the statement would not be true if it said from 6 months. I don't think it was intended to mean only children between 1 and 7 should have them.

You are right, the website does say that cereal and grains shouldn't be introduced until 7 months. It's on the sanitarium site under nutrition, the article is "Healthy foods, healthy babies...a guide to introducing solids to babies." But there is nothing to say that you should hold off until 12 months.

Roryrory- i think it was a swedish study, the main point i took from the study was the importance of BF'ing when introducing wheat. Apparently that was what helped lower the incidence of coeliac disease.
