POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. Yes, you can give Kellogg's Cornflakes with milk to your 1-year, 11-month-old baby, but it's important to keep a few things in mind:
Pros:
✔ Easy to digest when softened in warm milk.
✔ Quick to prepare and convenient.
✔ Mild taste, making it baby-friendly.
Cons & Precautions:
❌ High in sugar & preservatives – Many commercial cornflakes contain added sugar and artificial flavors, which are not ideal for toddlers. Choose unsweetened/plain cornflakes if possible.
❌ Low in fiber & protein – Cornflakes are mostly carbohydrates and may not be very filling.
❌ Risk of choking – If not softened well, the flakes may be hard for a toddler to chew properly.
Better Ways to Serve It:
✅ Use warm milk and let the flakes soften completely before feeding.
✅ Add mashed banana, dates, or chopped fruits (like apple or mango) instead of sugar for natural sweetness.
✅ Mix with homemade almond powder or a little ghee to enhance nutrition.
Healthier Alternatives: Homemade porridge (like ragi, suji, oats, or dalia) Mashed banana or fruit custard Homemade multigrain cereal
If you choose to give Kellogg’s Cornflakes, ensure it's an occasional snack, not a regular meal replacement, as homemade, nutrient-rich foods are better for your baby’s growth.
