  Infants can be exclusively breast fed or formula fed for the first 6 months of life and their nutritional requirements are completely fulfilled. However, the increase of nutritional requirements as well as neurological, digestive and renal function maturation from 6 months of age onwards, makes necessary the diversification of infant feeding. According to these factors, and considering sociocultural aspects, cereals have always been a nutritional source of interest during complementary feeding. They have frequently been the first food different from milk to be introduced during this period. Cereals represent a main source of energy due to their content in carbohydrates, but also provide low biological value protein, minerals, essential fatty acids and vitamins. In this article, main aspects related to their origin, use, composition and regulations are reviewed, as well as its importance in healthy nutritional habits acquisition in infancy.
