Key Benefits

 

  • Fulfils Daily Iron Requirements for Infants: Just two servings of this iron-fortified baby cereal provide up to 75% of a baby's daily required iron. Adequate iron intake during the weaning phase is clinically proven to prevent anaemia and support normal cognitive development.
  • Formulated as No Refined Sugar Baby Food: Built on the latest infant nutrition guidelines, this stage 1 baby food contains naturally occurring sugars from milk and cereals without any added refined sugars. This prevents early sugar dependency and promotes healthier metabolic growth.
  • Promotes Baby Brain Development With Omega 3:  Enriched with vital essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 (ALA and LA). These lipids are fundamental building blocks for the infant brain and retinal tissues, supporting sharper visual acuity and cognitive function.
  • Strengthens Bones With Infant Calcium Vitamin D: The synergistic combination of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D ensures optimal bone mineralisation. This prevents calcium deficiency during a baby's most rapid growth phase from 6 to 24 months.
  • Supports Healthy Baby Weight Gain: Packed with easily assimilable carbohydrates, milk proteins, and essential fats, it acts as a nutrient-dense, healthy infant breakfast that safely supports age-appropriate weight gain and sustained energy levels.
  • Highly Digestible for First Solid Foods: Manufactured using exclusive CHE (Cereal Hydrolysed Enzymatically) technology, which breaks down complex cereal carbohydrates into smaller, easily digestible components perfectly suited for a 6-month-old’s developing gut.

 

 

FAQs

To prepare Cerelac rice baby food, boil clean drinking water for 5 minutes and let it cool to a lukewarm temperature. Pour 75 ml of this water into a sterilised bowl, add 3 level scoops of the cereal, and stir continuously until smooth. Feed your baby immediately using a clean spoon.

Yes. Rice is highly recommended for introducing solids because it is gluten-free, gentle on developing stomachs, and rarely causes allergies. The CHE enzymatic technology used in this cereal breaks down the rice carbohydrates, making it even easier for a 6-month-old to digest.

No. This is a no-refined-sugar baby food. The carbohydrates and slight sweetness come entirely from the natural rice grain and milk solids included in the formula, aligning with WHO recommendations to avoid added sugars in infant diets.

It is recommended to prepare this specific cereal with lukewarm water, as it already contains milk solids. Mixing it with breast milk or formula may alter the nutritional density and make the feed too heavy for the baby's kidneys to process.

The formula is enriched with essential fatty acids like omega-3 (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) and iron. Clinical studies show that iron prevents developmental delays, while omega-3 is a crucial building block for brain tissue, supporting memory, motor skills, and visual acuity.

Mild changes in bowel movements are normal when introducing solids. However, the iron used in this formulation is calibrated for infant digestion, and the enzymatically hydrolyzed rice flour minimises gastrointestinal strain, significantly reducing the risk of severe constipation.

If you are feeding your baby the recommended two servings (approx. 50g total) per day, a 300g tin will last for 6 days. Once the foil is opened, the powder must be consumed within 3 weeks to prevent spoilage and nutrient degradation.

Yes. It provides 412 kcal per 100g, alongside high-quality milk protein and essential fats. When given as part of a balanced weaning diet alongside breast milk, it provides the extra calories needed for healthy, age-appropriate baby weight gain.

Absolutely. A single serving provides a substantial portion of infant calcium and vitamin D requirements, working synergistically to ensure rapid and healthy bone mineralisation during the critical 6 to 24-month growth phase.

No. The product is 100% free from artificial colours, synthetic flavours, and chemical preservatives. Its shelf stability is maintained through advanced moisture-free processing and secure, airtight packaging.
