is it a must to feed my lo cereal? my lo is 9 mths and I haven't given her any cereal. only fruits, vegetables, pasta. am I missing out any nutrients if I don't give her cereal?

To me cereal is carbo. If you have given her pasta, i would say thats fine. Besides all the fruits and vegetables carbos are also important and shouldnt be missed out. There must be a staple, pasta or potatos are good too.
