Read MoreNestlé Cerelac Oats & Wheat with Prune
There are lots of baby cereals on the market but until recently we haven’t had many iron fortified options, other than rice cereal. Baby cereal can be confusing and divisive – but I think it’s a handy option to have. Today I am reviewing the Nestlé Cerelac Oats & Wheat with Prune (6 mo+).
Read MoreUncle Tobys Vanilla O’s Low Sugar Cheerios
