What are the best breakfast cereals for a 15 month old? Is Cheerios or Corn Flakes fine?

We would eventually like to start Weetbix (as we love Weetbix) but at this stage he really enjoys his milk without any cereal in it.

Answer: Hi there,
Choice (www.choice.com.au, you can search their site, its well worth it) have done a great brekky cereal review and of all the kids cereal Sultana Bran and Cheerios were the only ones that even came near to be acceptable. Weetbix or VitaBrits would be a better option to be honest, the later has no added sugar, both are very low in simple sugars and no nasties. Corn Flakes I would steer clear of as it is high GI and really offers no nutritional benefit to a child.

I have a fact sheet on Huggies on brekky cereals if you wanted to have a closer look at this topic, the link is below:
