What Cheerios-like cereal are you feeding your baby?

[memneso]

@mariefromtexas We have weetbix and rice bubbles, neither of which are sweetened. Usually the kids will have fruit with them as well as milk and yoghurt.

@playthelyric We like the Eat Love Bird O’s. Pricey, but great ingredients and they do go on sale at Whole Foods.

@littlepinkmitten We do Lovebird foods too! YUM.

 

[radicallyfree]

@playthelyric Heritage O’s!

@playthelyric Millville Crispy Oats (Aldi) way fewer ingredients, good price, slightly more nutritious. I mix a little milk and some yogurt in. It helps them stick to the spoon so toddler can learn to use cutlery.

@playthelyric My 3yo eats the good & gather organic honey nut hoops from target. She loves them but I guess not an option for those under 1

@playthelyric I like the nature's path whole Os. They are organic and gluten free. The price also is not bad

@playthelyric I never saw the need to give my child heavily processed foods, such as cherios. I don't understand why people give this to their small children..? Is it an American thing? I don't know anyone who would give their kids Cheerios...
(Don't mean to be rude, I understand there might be cultural aspects in play here )

@playthelyric Kashi brand has organic cheerios, that’s what I feed my daughter

@playthelyric I second Seven Sundays!! They also sell at Costco.

@playthelyric Didn't give my son any cereal until he was a lot older but as a 2.5 year old he enjoys Three Wishes cereal. He would probably eat any kind but this has more protein and less sugar.

@playthelyric Natures path organic enviornkids cheetah chomps

Theyre cheerios shape and sized , berry flavored dye free and organic!

 

[coleperkins360]

@playthelyric Lovebird! They have a few flavors but we do the unsweetened one.

@kterry The reason people give their kids cereal is to feed them food.

 

[lcnolen2022]

@kterry i don’t think most people are offering it as a meal, but cheerios or similar cereals are good if you need a no-mess, quiet snack to keep babies or toddlers entertained in church or something it takes my toddler forever to pick “cheerios” (we use the Three Wishes brand) one by one out of her snack catcher cup, and i know they won’t leave a sticky mess on the upholstered pew or her church dress

@kterry Not OP, but Cheerios are an easy iron rich resource

 

[lcnolen2022]

@eugen the annoying thing is that all of the “healthy” ones aren’t iron fortified (at least not to the extent that Cheerios are ) so my kid is still getting a bowl of baby oatmeal each day

 

[kterry]

@eugen Ahh ok, I haven’t figured out why people think babies need to eat Cheerios but that makes sense. I suppose between cheerios and a plain cracker, better to pick the iron-fortified one.

 

[katehunt977]

@kterry I switched away from Cheerios due to the pesticide they found in it
