Cheerios

I've been on the hunt for a brand of cheerios that are sugar free. So far I haven't found any in the stores around here. I don't want to order online because baby girl won't eat that many. My mother used to bulk order cheerios that were sweetened with fruit juice. But there were six of us. I even checked the finger cereals that are being marketed to babies. They have sugar too. I think someone is trying to get our babies hooked on sugar so they will be addicted for the rest of their lives. I'm starting to really get annoyed at how companies market their foods as healthy when they aren't.

Rice Cereal

So I finally decided to give her rice cereal but now I'm regretting it. After about a week of rice cereal baby girl is a little stopped up. I've been reading online and I think I need to be giving her more water. I've been giving her a few sips after meals but now I'm thinking that I need to give her more. I also read that switching to oatmeal can help. I decided to re-introduce eggs into her diet. I hope that's not complicating things.

Prunes

Traveling makes it hard to keep up the introduction of foods. You don't want a fussy baby dealing with a rash or something. So we have just one more food. Prunes. It was her first food from a jar (except for applesauce). She liked them. I don't think I will make it a regular food though. I had bought a few jars of baby puree. They are really runny. I started feeding her way chunkier foods than purees. They are messier too.
