Exploring the world of taste with NESTLÉ ® Infant Cereals
Introducing solids is a thrilling (and messy!) milestone in your baby's first year. A world of tastes and textures awaits. Infant cereals are a great starting point, offering easily digestible nutrition and a smooth texture that's perfect for tiny tummies just beginning their food journey. It's the first step on a delicious adventure of discovery!
With NESTLÉ® Infant Cereals, you can be sure your baby is getting a great start with easy-to-digest, convenient and delicious first foods.
Here are 3 top reasons why NESTLÉ® Infant Cereals are fantastic options
for your little one's first foods:
Gentle on tiny tummies
Your baby's digestive system is still developing, so it's important to choose foods that are easy to digest. NESTLÉ® NESTUM® and NESTLÉ® CERELAC® are both specially designed with this in mind. They're gentle on your baby's tummy, ensuring that their first food experiences are comfortable and nourishing.
Great tasting flavours and textures
Starting your infant on solids is a fun journey of shared discovery, messy moments and the joy of watching your little one explore a whole new world of tastes and textures.
NESTLÉ® Infant Cereals offer a variety of mild flavours and smooth, creamy textures, perfect for tiny tummies just starting their food journey. For example, our single-grain rice cereal is gentle on delicate digestive systems and provides essential nutrients for healthy growth.
Product availability and flavours may vary by region. Nestlé® periodically updates its product lines, so offerings are subject to change. Always check product packaging for age recommendations and the most up-to-date ingredient information.
Easy to prepare
We know you've got a lot on your plate, which is why we've made sure both NESTLÉ® NESTUM® and NESTLÉ® CERELAC® are quick and easy to prepare. Simply boil water, let it cool, then mix in the desired amount of cereal until smooth. You can also use breast milk, milk and formula (whichever your baby is drinking) to prepare a creamy NESTLÉ® CERELAC® meal.
Tips to make starting solids as smooth as possible
- Start slow: Introduce small amounts at first and gradually increase as your baby shows readiness and increased appetite.
- Watch for reactions: Keep an eye out for any signs of allergies or discomfort.
- Mix it up: Introduce different flavours and textures over time to help your baby develop a diverse palate.
Let your baby enjoy the experience of exploring new foods, even if most ends up on their bib or tray or the floor. It's all part of the fun of developing their taste buds.

When can my baby start enjoying NESTLÉ ® NESTUM ® and NESTLÉ ® CERELAC ® ?
Around 6 months is a great time to start introducing solid foods such as Nestum® and Cerelac®, but remember, every baby is unique, so always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your baby’s diet.
Can I incorporate NESTLÉ ® Infant Cereals into meals for my older child who is already eating solids?
Absolutely! While formulated for babies, both Cerelac® and Nestum® can be added to meals for older children. Nestum® is popular as a breakfast cereal, and both can be added to yogurt or smoothies or used in baking. Adjust amounts based on age and dietary needs. Check the packaging for serving suggestions.
How should I store prepared NESTLÉ ® NESTUM ® and NESTLÉ ® CERELAC ® ?
For optimal freshness and hygiene, it's always recommended to prepare both NESTLÉ® NESTUM® and NESTLÉ® CERELAC® fresh for each feeding. Discard any leftovers promptly and don't store prepared cereal for later use as this can increase the risk of bacterial contamination.
