    Nope.

    He never *needed* cereal at all. If he enjoys it and it doesn't constipate him, continue for as long as you wish. Or move onto other, more grown-up foods. (You could give adult oatmeal/cream of wheat, or other breakfast foods -- yogurt, pancakes, dry cereal, and so on.)

    He doesn't need it it's just what everyone usually starts feeding baby at 10 months he is probably eating a lot of table food and such so I really don't think it's necessary for you to feed cereal anymore if you don't want to. His tastes should be expanding well beyond baby cereal at that age.

  • My son is 15 months old and he still has his Gerber oat meal before bed, every night. It keeps him happy and from having hunger pains in the middle of the night. I mean, if the box has recipes on it for meatloaf...I'm thinking it's okay to still give him, lol. I believe you can it to him up until 4 years old.

    You don't have to keep up with the baby cereal. Just make sure he is getting the iron elsewhere then.
