Is weetabix bad for toddlers?

[RachA]

Both of mine have always love weetabix. My youngest has 2 a day pretty much everyday. It doesn't give her any toilet problems at all (it didn't with my eldest either).


I would agree about them filling children up. 2 is excessive really for a 3 year old but the reason i give her 2 is because she actually eats very little generally. If i didn't give her 2 she wouldn't eat any more food during the course of the day so i give her 2 to make sure she actually does eat 1 decent meal a day.

My eldest has always had 2 a day too but he's always had a huge appetite and 2 didn't really fill him up anyway.

My son used to love weetabix. Would happily have 2, then toast or crumpet and then fruit. I think he had too much though as he now will not touch them! Hates them. I have tendency to give the same though so it's my fault. Did it with shreddies as well, now hates those and mini fruity shredded wheat. He's now starting to go off porridge... But then again it's plain porridge and maybe I'm being mean and should put some fruit or honey in it?
I really need to mix it up cereal wise for him. Toast he always has different spreads so not sure why I tend to stick to same cereal.

What are some of your LO's faves? I'm a bit ott on sugar btw as he goes a bit high. cheerios are a real treat lol! Not done cornflakes actually and think someone mentioned them being good. He might like those.
