The Goodness of Iron-Rich Cereal

Around the middle of the first year, babies' natural iron stores begin to diminish. Two servings of Gerber Cereal each day provides 90% of your baby's daily value of iron.

If you are using formula, mix Gerber cereals with Gerber Good Start infant formula for a gentle and nutritious combination.

The good nutrition of Gerber Cereal is beneficial throughout the first 2 years of life.

Completely cooked and ready to serve. Just add liquid.
