While baby cereal isn’t a must, it’s an excellent option for introducing solids and ensuring that your baby gets critical nutrients like iron. It’s particularly beneficial for breastfed babies who may need additional iron as they grow. It provides a safe, gentle way to transition to solids while offering a nutritious start to a baby’s diet. If you have questions or concerns about your baby’s specific dietary needs, we recommend consulting your child’s pediatrician.
