Full-term
babies have large amounts of iron stored in their bodies sufficient for the
first six months of their new life. Up until this stage, babies will also
start weaning foods to meet their increasing nutritional needs. Iron, is one
key nutrient that plays an important role for an infant’s childhood
nutrition, specifically for red blood cells which carry oxygen to all
parts of the body to help the body’s production.
Iron also
has short-term and possibly long-term effects on the child’s motor,
cognitive and socio-emotional development, co-ordination, and behaviour of
the child. However, ensuring a child’s daily requirements are not as difficult
as it looks.
Offering iron-fortified foods such as rice cereals, red meat and
leafy vegetables are a good example to complement your baby’s diet during
the weaning stages.

IRON, More Potential
To help
bridge the iron gap and complement a baby’s diet, Nestlé introduces the new CERELAC®
Infant Cereals range, infused with higher iron content BIFIDUS BL probiotics
and DHA. The new and improved Nestlé CERELAC® Infant Cereals will meet
more than 50 per cent of an infant’s daily iron requirement, in just one
serving.
Made with
Baby Grade ingredients specially grown for babies, Nestlé CERELAC® InfantCereals offer a range of flavours across three stages of an infant’s growth – after
six months, from eight months, and from 12 months, giving your child a
nutritious headstart to their first solid foods.
Nestlé
CERELAC® Infant Cereals comes in 11 different variants to cater to each
stage of an infant’s growth.
Nestlé
CERELAC® Infant Cereals also launched the new CERELAC® iRON Calculator, a
simple and interactive platform for parents to help ensure the food their child
receives meets the daily iron needs, all with just a click of a button. All
users have to do is select from food categories and their respective
servings, to generate the estimated iron intake for their child.
I am happy that I got 100% and giving my kids a variety of iron-rich foods.
