Product Highlights
GERBER Organic Baby Cereal Oatmeal (208 g) is a wholesome and easy choice for baby’s first solid food. Each serving is full of added nutrients and is an excellent source of iron. This is important, since healthcare experts recommend baby's first foods be iron-rich, like iron-fortified baby cereals1. In addition to being wholesome and organic, this cereal is also convenient. Just mix the cereal with breast milk or iron-fortified infant formula and you’re all set.
