Hi

I think we gave Marmite to Ella around 6 months (it was on a rusk as well). ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I think Michaela was about 6 mo too. She had it on a cruskit and loved it - she's been a vegemite fan ever since. -------------

I got a free sample in a Reach Me box (had lots of goodies in it for bubs) and it says "Marmite can be introduced to babies over the age of 6 months" so I'd say vegemite would be the same as it's pretty much the same stuff.. 
I want to try it too.. and I've heard rusks are a really good way to get them to try it  -------------

How about adding it to the pureed veges for a bit of extra flavour good way to get them used to it I think, before you go the whole hog and spread it on a rusk or something!------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Well, I tried vegemite on toast fingers this morning and Rex LOVED it  There was vegemite everywhere, but he had a ball sucking the toast! I think my boy would eat anything I gave him!------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

I thought Vegemite is full of salt and that should be avoided with babies up to 1 year. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yeah I think they recommend you give them marmite instead as it has less sodium in it ------------- http://lilypie.com">
