How many cheerios is too many cheerios?
« on: October 12, 2006, 20:16:53 pm »
So my LO loves Cheerios.  First she loved her veggie puffs (from Gerber) but they seemed to stale quickly so my Dad brought over Cheerios one day and they are a hit!  Only problem, LO loves them so much when she's eating them she always wants more.  We're just starting "snacks" and I think my LO is so used to meals she's can't figure out a snack is smaller or something?  Or she is just so enamoured by feeding herself that she just wants to keep doing it even if she's not hungry

They have a bit of fiber in them, I actually think they helped get LO back on track after a few weeks issues with constipation.  I try to make sure she drinks water with them too, not sure why, I just figure it would help with the constipation problem we had -- plus she drinks that from a sippy and thats good practice for her.

At any rate... how many is a serving?

Mikey usually has a child size cup full (but he has a big appetite) and Jay has around a handful

gvackm, i know what you mean, christian will just sit and eat them for hours if we let him. he gets so excited when we put them on the table for him. i normally give him a small handful. i know cheerio's have a sugar/honey coating so i am not entirely happy about giving them but we can't find any plain ones.also i only give them in the morning to tide him over whilst i make his bottle and sometimes a few after a meal. we haven't really introduced snacks yet but i think i won't be serving cheerio's LOL.

same here, a handful and most end up on the floor, if I'm not quick with the broom, he rescues the lost ones later and eats them up :-X
