Peterwins: For parents with children under 3 years kindly reach for a pack of Golden Morn and confirm this info. If you do not have a pack within reach, kindly get to the nearest store or supermarket and check the age restriction. I find it hard to believe that such a sensitive info is not boldly written to alert unsuspecting parents.
@op av chkd the park n i even av it in frnt of me nw n i cnt find any age restrictns oh...wat i c is dat it is a balanced n healthy diet 4 al family members...pls if u can snap it n shw us it would b very gud..

Well, I`m married to a gambian. Our kid has been eating african food since she was about one year old, just with a little less pepper than normal.

What was your point here?
Exactly my thoughts feeding a one year old akpu and ewedu or any swallow isn't really a bad idea just make sure its not too thick! akpu especially,and the soup not peppery! My mother grew up on akpu and ofe ogbankpo! Its copy copy of the west that has made our own food taboo to us.

ronkebp: it is because all this stu/pid companies are not being sued, that is why, they are still doing their thing non-challantly. All parents should come together, open their mouths and scream at the top of their voices...."Life is very important, Life should be made the top priority". I am so angry.....nonsense marketers, My God will expose them.

We are working on it... A lot of processed junks being sold out there as foods.. We need to stick to our natural food : But will our people listen ? We are so carried away with "western lifestyle". There was a report by BBC that says there will be 40% jump in obesity and heart disease in Africa.

We can always learn from the Hausa's. They stick to their homemade foods most of the time and are slimmer, healthier( you see them walk from kafachan to zubachan selling stuff and their girls are wow....

Awara; very soft ( made with soya bean), Rithi( made with sesame seed), fura de nono, gero and many more...

But we down south, we are too "westernized" to utilize our own natural food... No wonder these foreign companies are having a field day putting out all these processed junks they call food.

Not sure what food was being referred to, since we do not know what they eat in gambia.

And if the food in question is fulani, then it might be milk products or something like tuwo.

God bless you. We need more wives like you in Nigeria and Africa at large....

I lived in the west for sometime and ignorantly eat all those their junk toxins. For years i wasn't myself. When I came back to Nigeria and religiously eat our food, my system flushed and still flushing the toxins and the fact that i feel better is an understatement. Issues like this one arouses my sensitivity.

Our food and indeed natural foods are medicinal and more nutritious. Coporations should be put under a microscope especially when it comes to matters of food and Medicines....

The OP has made this seriously an alarming post but failed to tell us exactly why the cereal is alarming. Ok, it is not to be fed to kids under age 3 however you did not complete your assignment before screaming blue murder. You did well by informing us, but it would have been an excellent post if you had also researched and gave us the feedback of your research as to why this is so. The kid will still take the cereal at 3 years not so? Let us know why its dangerous to feed it to them between age 0 & 2.99. grin cool

Although my boy loves eating our native food he equally loves snacking on Golden Morn. He will be 3 by Jan so i guess its already too late undecided
Re: Golden Morn Unsuitable For Children Under 3 Years by Beync(f): 2:32pm On Oct 13, 2012
this is surprising, I know lots of mothers who feed their babies below 1yr with goldenmorn. I guess they are unaware of this info. But nestle did not try on their own. Dis is something to be written boldly where one can easily see the info at a glance.

Spot on! I keep asking why westernize our food also? We are rich in greenfield. Let's feed our kids with foods from our own soil, prepared by us. And less visit to hospitals! Golden Morn, Silver morn, ... crap! I still yearn for ofe ogbankpo!

I don't know what this is about , but in my family, once a baby turns 1, we stop all the expensive formulas and baby foods and switch to golden morn and peak 123 and so far, all the babies are doing great.
I did exclusive breastfeeding for my daughter and getting her to eat thereafter was a major challenge. She's 1 and the only food she willingly accepts is golden morn and she's putting on a lot of weight. Though she also takes pap and custard.Well, some meds which are clearly written; not for children under 2 are prescribed by pediatricians for babies under 1 but at reduced doses so u never know wit these things. Whatever works for u and ur baby jare. Good luck !

Well I've seen infants been fed Golden morn though the mother saw the warning. My one year old takes it for breakfast. No biggie. I take it as Nestle been very careful to not hurt kids as there's a tendency for kids under a year to be fed just one type of food day in, day out.

my boy has been eating amala and okro since he was 7months. He loves it. I didn't start him on akpu and eba till he was 14 months and he loves them especially when i add fresh fish to the okro or ewedu. Golden morn's breakfast but we get creative the rest of the day.

And then when he grows up you'll wonder why he's short and not as smart as his peers.

We "import" Golden Morn and my boy has been eating it since he was like 6 months. He is now 5 and has never had a problem. Golden Morn is like his night prayer. Regardless of what he has eaten for dinner, once he feels like sleeping, he comes to ask for his nightcap (a bowl of Golden Morn)
