Bitesize shredded Wheat?

[weaning]

Is anyone using bitesize shredded wheat? My LO is just over nine months, we have used Ready Brek, Weetabix, natural yog with fruit etc for breakfast but thought this would be another change, any thought or advice. Could it be used as a small finger food??
Thanks.

we use it - my son's been having them since about 9.5mo - it'd s good size but doesn't dissolve, my ds has no teeth so i break them in half and then pull apart the two halfs ... iykwim?? The other foods i give him include mini wheetabix and his favorite are rice kispies and cheerios. I find cheerios are quite sweet though, so we don't have them too often. Other good things are pancakes, french toast and scrambled eggs

my little one has them and loves them, i leave them to soak for a few minutes in the milk before giving them to her, and by then they are nice and soggy , she will just pick them up as finger food, xxxx

Silly question
Approx how many bite sized shredded wheat in a portion for a 9 month old?

i haven't tried them yet, coz i hate them!. i've tried Shreddies, Rice Krispies, Weetabix, Cheerios & Porridge. Can you get them with fruit bits in now too??
