Cerelac is a brand of instant cereal made by Nestlé. The cereal is promoted for infants between 6 and 24 months old,[1] as a supplement to breast milk when it is no longer the sole item in an infant's diet. Cerelac is not a substitute for breast milk, and it is advised to continue breast feeding or infant formula along with Cerelac. The ingredients depend on which country the product is being sold in; specifically, Nestlé usually adds sugar to the cereal when it is being sold in poorer countries, but not when selling it in wealthier countries.[2][3]
The brand was first registered in 1949 and is sold in many countries.
