Perfect for Babies – I have been a big fan of Nestle Cerelac and have recommended it to everyone who has 6 months to 2 years old babies. It is a full nutritional diet for kids and can be used instantly without any hassle. I have used different variants for my kids and even gifted to my niece.

Perfect for my little one – So I found this when I was looking for breaky for my 2nd baby girl. My first one had wheat bix with formula milk till one. My second one I tried cerelac. My dd took to the oats with prunes. Started her around 6 months. I never looked at the mix ratios. I just added cooled boiled water to what consistency I thought best. Tried adding extra water to… Read more

make a little smoother but I found bub likes it gluggy as she loves to chew. She's just turned a year old and still loves it. The portions are growing but i add pear puree or apple purees to it. So I put the same if not more puree than the cereal but she loves it. Now that it's getting into winter I heat it up a little so it's nice and warm for bub. It's practically the biggest meal of the day. Gives her great bowel movement during the day (awful for me but great for her. Lol). She still eats plenty of other foods during the day but I think I'll continue on with the cerelac oats with prunes for little while longer. My babies are tiny one. Year old and she still fits into 0000 outfits (though she's outgrown the onesies in length). Talk skinny one she is. Just like her sister. Anyways. The cereal is great. My dd tasted all of them but prunes was best. Plus prunes are good for them and helping their bowel movements.

Very bad – I bought a couple of boxes, baby hated it so I tried it and it gave me bad stomach cramps. First of all it doesn’t smell great, the fruit chips are sharp, then goes all brown after a few minutes.I gave it all to the chickens. Why don’t we have good baby cereal in Australia??? I need to keep on importing from England or Greece like Gerber etc.

Made my baby sick both times he had it – I gave my baby this cereal for the first time when he was 8 months old. He ate half of it and then carried on as usual. However, later he woke from his nap in a pool of vomit! He vomited 5 more times after this... he couldn't keep any food or breastmilk down. 2 weeks later I tried to mix a little bit of it with his Weet-Bix to see if he would… Read more

have a reaction as I wasn't 100% sure that it was the cereal which had caused his first illness. It was however; he vomited again! His reaction was a lot milder as he had a lot less but he barely ate any of his lunch and then spewed it back up. I then breastfed him and he spat half of it back up. Wouldnt recommend!

Cant miss out on this – This is become part of my baby's daily routine breakfast. I also mix in some more fruits for extra benefit and this acts as a perfect base. It was my baby's first solids and he instantly loved it. Show details

Nestle Cerelac Rice – The Nestle Cerelac Rice cereal is a good way to begin the solids journey with baby. The flavour is quite bland and the texture is fine yet is rather a thickened liquid. It took my little one a few attempts to begin eating this and liking it. But it is quick and easy to prepare at a time they can be rather fussy.  Show details

Perfect for my little girl – My little one is allergic to rice and oats so we use the wheat variation and it works wonders. She loves it, keeps her full enough for a lengthy first nap and also helps prevent constipation. We sometimes mix a bit of fruit in there and that also works well.

Excellent product – My baby daughter suffers from constipation and this is honestly one of the only infant cereals out there that eases her discomfort, we've tried everything and a few of the natural remedies did the opposite and gave her the runs. We mix it into her normal baby food each day and works a treat!

Excellent product – I just start this product for my baby girl couple months ago. She loves to eat this in her breakfast. Its so easy to make and the taste is so so good. It didn’t affect her tummy and she enjoys every time i give her. I really appreciate this product and recommend this to other mums.

Good but expensive – My son loves the taste but it was a bit expensive for what I was looking for. Would buy again, but not regularly. On a plus though, Nestle is a trusted brand which is reassuring so I suppose the price tag comes with the territory. 4/5 stars, would recommend to anyone who can afford.

Love the taste – My son and daughter both love oats with prunes. My daughter also loves the taste of wheat with pear. I do a combination of baby lead weaning and spoon feeding and these are very good in filling up my daughter's tummy when she does not like much a few of her finger foods. I sometimes add steamed green peas or any mashed veggies in rice cereals when… Read more

she was 6+ months. The only downside is that the rice cereal can sometimes cause constipation and one pack does not last long. Good thing she normally has oats with prunes in the morning that regulates her bowel. I find the amount of water in the guide too much for the amount of cereals so I just adjust the amount of cereals to arrive at the texture that my baby likes.

mix well with hot water – the reason why the cereal is forming lumps is because you add too little water if you add over enough water it will become smooth and you should not give it only a few stirs it needs to be mixed well in order for it not to become lumpy.i started giving cerelac to my lO at 3 months because he was always hungry and it seemed that he never got enough… Read more

of the breastmilk i gave cerelac in the morning at nine following his marie biscuits at 1 and at seven for the latest i gave him his last two spoons of cerelac at first he did not like the cereal because it was so plain with no taste and i added a little bit of sugar and he is doing just to well

Nostalgic taste and flavour – I have no doubts of brands that have been there for so long which means they are consistent in giving the best quality. And this is my experience with Cerelac. I grew up eating this baby food and feeding this to my baby this time around has been a nostalgic experience. My bub just loves them in apple and banana flavours and the rice version too.… Read more

It's smooth moving from his mouth to stomach as I have never experienced him choking. So far so good and no allergies were triggered by feeding them with Cerelace several times. I would definitely go for lasting brands such as Cerelac for my bub.

Lumps forming – My daughter is 13months old. I started wheat cerelac since she was 7months,off late very unhappy with the quality of cerelac since lumps are forming everyday,n my baby doesn't like it anymore.i generally buy the mega pack coz she has it everyday.very unhappy with wheat cerelac!! Just worried the lumps formation doesn't harm my baby's digestion.

Terrible – The recommended serving suggestion was not accurate and the cereal was very gluggy. I tried it with water and then formula but had the same result each time, ie. gluggy and baby didn't like it. No allergens. Very expensive and box is too big and the bag insider wasn't very full. My baby did not like the cereal at all, so I has to throw it out. It also did not mix very well and became gluggy.

Excellent – A good product my baby loves it,tastes better and you can move onto the Cerelac wheat cereal for 6 months and over. Nestle is a good brand. Mixes well and is a bigger box than the other cereals available for baby. It tastes better and seems to have more vitamins in it.

check ingredients if your little one has allergies – We bought this when commencing solids assuming that it was only rice and maybe some vitamins/minerals however it contained soy which our daughter is allergic to so had to discontinue use. It was however easy to mix and she liked the flavour but does seem to thin out if taking too long to feed. mixes well and bubs enjoyed the taste contained soy (bub is allergic)

my baby loves it – Overseas there are more flavours than in AU. My baby likes the banana and honey flavours but i can't find them in Australia. Any idea where i can order them? overall, my baby loves it with milk the smell of the non australian cerelac is so nice, like a chocolate. But the one in AU has no smell !

Probiotics goodness – We were given a sachet of this to try and now my baby has it every day and loves it (even though the taste seems pretty bland). I think it is the only one with probiotics in it which is good as he is now going to childcare after going back to work. It mixes in water with no problem. Probiotics, bub loves it Is more expensive but is in a bigger box

Love it – I purchased this cereal for my 7 month old because she wouldn't eat rice cereal. And from the first mouth full she loved it. She has this for breakfast every morning. I did notice it contains sugar but only about 3G per 100g of cereal which doesn't worry me as long as she's eating. Tastier than rice cereal

Bub liked it but had to discontinue use due to allergic reaction – I tried this instead of the usual brand that i buy. I was abe to follow recommended amount of cereal and water and found that the amount suggested for bub starting solids was way too much and i ended up throwing most of it out. After bub tasting it 10 minutes later bub had a rash on face around mouth and was coughing. I was concerned that it may… Read more

be the cereal as bub did not show any symptoms of reaction with other cereal brands. I tried the following day to give the Nestle Cerelac rice but bub showed the same symptoms so i have discontinued use just in case of allergic reaction. Otherwise i was happy with this product. Easy to mix Suggested serving size was too much in one sitting for bub and possible allergic reaction to this cereal

Tasty and versatile – I decided to give this a try so I don't always give my daughter rice cereal or oats for her breakfast. I normally mix it with pureed fruit and formula and my daughter loves it. It's creamy but without being too sweet. I had checked other reviews out and they said that the product has sugar in it, however I checked the ingredients before… Read more ·  1

purchasing it (I am very careful not to get anything with sugar in it now that my daughter is still a baby) and I couldn't see any sugar in the list - they must have changed recently. I love the addition of probiotics, minerals and vitamins. My bub didn't have any upset tummy after eating it at all. I will certainly mix it with her vegies and meat sometimes to add a little texture. Product is a little pricier than other similar baby cereals, but I guess it's because of the added nutrients. Texture, taste, versatility A little pricier, but no big deal

Assisted in transitioning baby to solids – I began using my son on the Nestle Cerelac Rice flavour when he was 4 months as suggested on the box. My son struggled at first with the concept of being spoon fed so i perservered and he eventually got the hang of it. When making up the cereal its 90mls milk or water and 2.5 tablespoons of cerelac. At first it was a real waste as my son couldnt… Read more

finish 2.5tablespoons of cereal so i found i was either finishing it for him or throwing the remainder out. mixes in easily with Nan baby formula, baby liked the taste 90ml liquid & 2.5 tablespoons of cerelac leaves you with throwing too much out for a 4 month old

Great breakfast for baby's – I've been using cerelac for a while now , all three of my children have been fed cerelac when they were baby's . i startered buying it originally at a middle eastern shop where they import it , it's very popular over seas . My children loved it , it's not as bland as some other brands of cereals . They have only recently been selling cerelac at… Read more

Safeway . Unfortunately they only sell rice and wheat where the imported ones have more flavour opinions . More flavours are better when the bub is fussy when teething . Overall I've been happy with cerelac cereals . It thickens quickly and you only need a bit . Cost are about $4.50 per box . Baby liked it better then other cereals More flavours needed

It does the job - bland first food for bubs – I had the misfortune of having to try this to check if it was both bland enough for bubs and the right tempurate and texture. I can honestly say - its BLAND - which is exactly what you want for bubs in "first food". I mixed it up with very runny fruit and vegies after bubs got the hang of the eating thing as it made it so much easier to feed… Read more ·  1

him. However, I wouldn't recommend feeding it every meal as it can clog up bubs if you know what I mean. It is what it is and does the job that the box describes. Bubs wasn't too fond of the texture / flavour / taste (I don't know exactly as I only get a screwed up face and not a review) but has since "gotten used to it" if the facial expression is anything to gon on.

At around $4 for a box - price is very reasonable. You can pick it up at any supermarket / chemist / convenience store. Getting Easy to find, inexpensive. it is what it is.

Baby loves it – I bought this baby cereal as an alternative to baby rice which my baby had grown out of, and this is a great choice for the older baby starting solids (6months plus). Mixes well with water and i add a little breast milk or formula (which ever i have on hand at the time) for that extra nutrient boost. Baby thinks it's fantastic, very palatable for… Read more

Excellent – I prefer this over other brand cereals its tastier,mixes and tastes better.My baby is thriving on this and gulps it down. A well known and trusted brand so I feel comfortable feeding this to my son My baby has moved onto the Nestle wheat Cerelac.He likes this and we have had no problems changing from the rice based one.It is pleasant tasting and my baby loves it mashed with banana or other baby fruits(apples,pears).

Good – My baby loved it, no problem with digestion or allergy. He actually did not like the rice cereal much from a different brand but with this one he really loves to have it every morning. Mixes well, tasty, added bifidus for easy digestion Contains sugar, not organic
