Re: CEREAL

Cheryl, Hi, it has to be the hardest diet, I agree. As far as Kelloggs

alot of their cereal is GFCF but all their ceral has the possibility of

cross contamination due to the fact they produce No No items on the same

line. I personally don't buy their products cause of this reason. There

is a pretty good cereal put out by EnviroKidz that is totally GFCF- they

have Gorilla Munchies that are shaped like Kix and they have a frosted

flake cereal. I get them at Health food stores for about $4 a box. LJ

likes the gorilla ones the best - even eats them dry.

I think we have to worry about cross contamination with Kellogg's corn

puffs. It might not bother when you first get into the diet but it does

later on as I found out with Malt-O-Meal gfcf cereal also has problems with

cross contamination. if this grandma can do the diet, anyone can. I put

off doing it for nearly two years because I did not think I could do it and

I did not think Evan fit the model for kids that needed the diet. Now I

could kick myself for not doing it sooner. it has helped him so much and I

know that he would be doing better if I had started sooner. Someday,

hopefully there will be more gf-cf free foods out there for our kids.

the same line as other cereals.

Hi,

We like Nature Valley's Rice Crunch-ems. They look like Chex so the're good

finger food, and as an added bonus, they're not sugared. I also use this

cereal crushed for chicken nuggets, meat loaf filler, etc.

I have called the company and they verified it is GFCF.

I don't know about a cereal. I get a cereal my 2 year old son eats,

" Gorilla Munch, " see www.envirokidz.com, but its made with cornmeal.

My son likes waffles, he eats them cold. I cut them up, and leave them on

the table, and he munches all morning. Its the recipe in Robin Ryberg's

cookbook, page 39. The title is something like Gluten-Free Kitchen. She

uses a flour mix that's half cornstarch and half potato starch, but for you,

I would suggest substituting the cornstarch with tapioca flour. I make

double batches and both my GFCF kids eat them every morning. (I add a

little cinnamon to the mix.)

Our Pediatrician said it was fine to start him on cererl, he is also on Zantac

for his reflux. However Aidan also sees a Spicialist in " special needs babies

or preemies " & he says absolutely not. Not until he's about 6mo old. The cerel

just acts as a filler and doesn't have the nutrients & Iron in it like formula.

He said if you want to fill him up increase his formula. Though he may be 4mo.

he's really 2mo. Our Pedia tends to treat him as a normal term 4mo. old.

Re: Re: How is Aidan's Blister?

I am a stay at home mom, lots of work but the most rewarding thing I have

ever done. I have done the buckle thing too. Husband did that a few months

ago with our 2 year old. I turned to see what he was fussing about as we

were backing out of the driveway and was trying to buckle

himself in. Too cute, huh

Husbands - -

Our pedi told us not to fuss with cereal until 6 months. I have been told

by others not to do the bottle thing with the cereal, not as nutritious as a

feeding and a bottle. I breastfed my first until he was 7 months and

is still on the breast at almost 5 months. But I have tried cereal

with just to see because he is so big and always looking to eat and

he wants no part of it.

It is all trial and error.

Oh no, poor thing. I was seconds I'm sure from having a heart attack last

week when we got his shoes on. They showed me how to do it then took the

shoes off and had me do it myself, all the while Aidan is screaming. We got

the shoes on, baby in car seat and I was discussing the shoes with the

orthotist and nurse about treatment, pain blah blah. I was so unnerved, it

took me forever to get those suckers on.

I walked down to the car carring the car seat and when I went to put the car

seat in the base I realized I had never buckled him into the seat. OMG, I

almost died. I thought one wrong move and he could have gone tumbling out of

this thing. I was horrified at all the what-ifs!!! Additionally, I took him

to his physical thearipist, the other day and we were discussing his diet. I

mentioned we were putting rice in his bottle, his pediatrician said it was

fine and he was ready at 4 mo. Well my physical thearapist said absolutely

not. As a preemie, he's really only 2mo old and his digestive system isn't

ready for that. So, actually I'm depriving him of nutrients by just adding

the filler rice. She gives a workshop every Wed. with a nutritionist and a

Specialty doctor who just works with preemies. I felt horrible as I felt

like I wasn't feeding him enough. UGH. I'm not sure why God thought I was

qualified for this.

I've come to the conclusion life is trial and error as well as medicine!!!

Here's to hoping we get through this in one piece! :-) Dawn-Marie are you a

stay-at-home mom? I'm new to this whole stay at home thing.

oh my goodness! I have to admit, I put cereal in his bottle two days

after bringing him home from the hospital. We increased it gradually

so it was nice and thick around 2 months as he would only take one

nipple and the hole was getting bigger...hehe! He did great with it

and it was mixed with the same amount of formula that we would have

given him without the cereal. So he was getting plenty of iron and

vitamins. Because of all the problems we had and all the many months

spent casting weekly plus surgeries, never took baby food from a

spoon. He just wouldn't do it, so I started putting some in his

bottle. He took a couple bottles that way, but then just stopped. He

skipped over the whole baby food thing and went right to solids he

could pick up. He had no issue with reflux. Just preferred the

cereal, in fact he loved that so much and it filled him, he wouldn't

drink a regular bottle ever again!

My first? Eating from a spoon at 3 months and loved every bite! He

had bad reflux in beginning, but he is also lactose intolerant so as

soon as we switched formula, it stopped.

Each kid is different and each doctor is different. It really doesn't

matter what food you give him first or how much to be honest with you.

Your baby will tell you what s/he is ready for . Listen to them.

Good luck!

Personally I think we rely too much on the doctor's adivce and too little on our

own common sense with feeding our babies. In the natural world, when does an

animal wean her baby off mother's milk? when it can eat on it's own. I never

understood people being in a hurry to push solids.
