Nestlé CERELAC Wheat with Milk is a scientifically formulated, nutrient-dense complementary food designed for infants from 6 months of age. This stage marks a critical physiological transition where an infant's nutritional demands begin to exceed what can be provided by breast milk or formula alone.
During this developmental milestone, infants require a textured dietary introduction that is highly bioavailable, easily digestible, and fortified with essential micronutrients to support rapid physical growth and neurological development.
Key Medical & Developmental Benefits
Supports Cognitive Development (iRON+): Around 6 months of age, an infant's natural gestational iron stores begin to deplete. Each portion of this cereal is fortified with iRON+ (ferrous fumarate), which provides a highly bioavailable source of iron. Iron is a fundamental co-factor for hemoglobin synthesis and normal myelination of the central nervous system, directly supporting cognitive and psychomotor development.
How to use Cerelac Wheat:
Strengthens Immune Function: Enriched with key immunonutrients, including Vitamins A, C, D, and Zinc. These micronutrients act synergistically to maintain epithelial barrier integrity and support the maturation of the infant's innate and adaptive immune responses.
Promotes Bone Mineralization: Formulated with Calcium and Vitamin D. Vitamin D facilitates the intestinal absorption of calcium, ensuring healthy skeletal growth, tooth mineralization, and structural development.
Facilitates Digestive Transition: The transition from an all-liquid diet to semi-solids requires gentle, easily digestible starch. This wheat formulation utilizes partially hydrolyzed grains, which breaks down complex starches into smaller, easily digestible carbohydrates to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.

Safety Precautions & Storage
Complementary Feeding Only: This product is intended as a complementary food to transition infants onto solids. It is not a substitute for breast milk during the first 6 months of life. Breastfeeding should be continued for as long as possible.
Allergen Warning: Contains Wheat (Gluten) and Milk. It is contraindicated for infants with confirmed wheat allergies, gluten-sensitive enteropathy (Celiac Disease), or cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).
Microbial Safety: Do not keep unfinished portions of the prepared feed. Reconstituted cereal must be consumed immediately to avoid pathogen proliferation.
Storage Conditions: Keep the tin tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate. Once opened, use the contents within 4 weeks.
