breakfast cereals
i dont really know a lot about breakfast cereals cus i dont really like them. but daisy doesnt really like eating she is 16 months now and has been having rice crispies for breakfast i bought a selection pack of nestle cereals to try her with different ones aas i had heard some of you giving cheerios and things. she liked theses nestle cookie one cant remember exact name thing she liked them cus she could pick them up . it just doesnt seem right giving a chocolate flavoured cereal but i let her have chocolate cake buscuits etc cus she has lots of fruit. so my thinking is there is some nutrition as they are a whole grain cereal.
i constantly offer diffferent foods in the hope she will find something she likes and tbh im just glad when she erats anything. i am just interested in your opinions on cereals. just so you know i have tried weetabix and porridge and she just wont eat it. i perevered with weetabix for months and she went from half a bix to few spoons to complete refusal

He's currently on ready break with some fresh fruit mashed into (it tastes horrid on it's own!)
Not sure how I feel about choc flavoured cereal, probably not every day but once in a while.
How about special K with the fruit in it. Or the flakes which are only partly flavoured with choc ? S x
I would try shreddies too, soak them in milk for a bit then give them to lo as a finger food, Gabe loves them! I LOVE shreddies too so I can eat them if he doesn't.
I think kids are very resilient, I do feed Gabe chocolate biscuits and quavers/skips cos sometimes he won't eat anything else, I don't think it does them any harm. I exist on cereal, pasta and noodles when I'm working and rarely eat a proper cooked meal with meat, veg etc just because I don't like it as much, and takes ages, anyway it hasnt done me any harm.
A lot of cereals do have a lot of sugar in them, even the ones you don't expect to which can be a pain.
I normally give Charlotte Weetabix (inc supermarket own brand), Ready Brek, and now she loves Cornflakes all of a sudden. She also had Cheerios but as a snack really to crunch on. I've yet to try her on some Shreddies.
I would try her on something like cornflakes, rice crispies or shreddies. Or wouls she eat toast for brekkie?
i agree ccbmommy i wouldnt choose to give choc flavoured cereals but i just want to see her enjoy her food. i always said i never wanted to make an issue out of eating. i dont understand much about food nutrition but my thinking is its better than giving her a chocolate biscuit . she always has a fruit salad after every meal including breakfast and will nibble on few bits toast but not even 1/4 slice. i will try her with some shreddies tomoro
If she doesn't like the shreddies you could try her with porridge again but with a touch of honey/golden syrup?? For breakfast Gabe either has ready brek, shreddies, baby cereal or rusk mashed in milk, I know he's too old for mushed up rusk but he really likes it when he's being fussy!!
