Baby cereals are processed cereal-based foods specifically designed for infants. These cereals come in two main types.
- Simple Cereals: These require reconstitution with milk (breast milk or formula) or other appropriate nutritious liquids.
- Cereals with Added Protein: These are designed to be reconstituted with water or another protein-free liquid.
In essence, baby cereals are an early food option meant to supplement breast milk or formula and provide essential nutrients as babies transition to solid foods.
