As soon as your baby is on to solids at 6 months. You can buy baby weetabix too without any added salts, sugars etc its called Hipp-a-bix and my 10 month old has just had some with formula milk. She loves it.
Hipp-a-bix says on the box from 6 months -3 years but it's just the same as weet-a-bix.

If your baby has already had solids and is able to cope then about 6 months on. Weetabix is very heavy and takes a bit of processing. If the baby is already used to baby rice, rusks, etc then heavier foods should be no problem.
My 3rd started solids far earlier than the recommended 6 months, but then I had 3 children in 5 years and the recommended age to start solids altered from 4 to 6 months so I went on instinct rather than "scientific facts"! I had also been told by another midwife to go on weight rather than age - so ask about this. But by 6 months my 3rd was enjoying a huge varied diet and he has been the best, least fussy eater of the lot!

Current guidelines for weaning your baby are 6months, especially if they're breastfed, but your health visitor will be able to advise you. I weaned my daughter at 4 1/2 months because she seemed ready for solids, and the health visitor told me to trust my judgement.
The first time you give it to your child, they may not take it anyway, it's a whole new learning experience. Make sure you make it really runny, with loads of milk and not much weetabix at all, and then gradually increase the amount of weetabix and decrease the amount of milk to something a bit less sloppy over a period of weeks.
Really though, talk to your health visitor. He or she will be able to give you all sorts of advice.

I started feeding my son proper weetabix at 7 months and he loved them, but you can give them weetabix from 6 months so my health visitor told me but dont use cows milk, only formula till there over a year old.
Hope this helps :)

Usally at about 4 months. Your maternal nurse will look for the tounge flick which babies do when they're ready to eat. So check with your nurse first.
