Cheerios, a staple in most Canadian homes has recently teamed up with babycenter.ca, launching a new site section called "First Foods".


As most of you know, we have 3 girls. The older 2 are twins and are 5.5 years old. Our youngest is 2.5 years old. I remember when my big girls were small (look at those smiles below), we struggled with the mere logistics of feeding 2 babies at once. In order to maintain a schedule and our sanity, it was important for them to eat roughly at the same time... after all, we're not running a snack bar here.
They were both what I would call 'good eaters' so we never struggled with making food exciting. We struggled with only having 2 hands... the solution... not rocket science... use ONE spoon and ONE bowl! There really is no need to struggle with managing 2 bowls and 2 spoons at once and alternating - they're sisters, they're twins and they chew on the same toys, sometimes at the SAME TIME!
Here are a couple pics of my twin cuties when they were younger *sigh* - they ate their fair share of Cheerios - despite finding them in the sofa, in the car and in their diapers (don't ask!)!


With the launch of the Cheerios First Foods section of babycenter.ca, you'll have a one-stop site for answering all of your feeding questions - when do I buy a highchair, what about allergies??

Although my youngest baby is now 5 yrs old, I'm still a regular visitor of Baby Center Canada. I liked reading their article about Discipline strategy for Preschooler as I have one right now also the games and play is a very helpful, it helps to minimize the "i'm bored" phrase at home when he is off from school.

I was surprised to learn babies need fish in their diet... just sounds weird, but I guess makes sense!

What a great site! I usually head to the internet for resources rather than look in books; however, the one thing I followed in a particular book was what foods to start at different ages.
I was impressed when I went through the Cheerios First Foods page on BabyCenter. This site has it all! My toddler has been fussy lately so I read up on the "How do I monitor what my baby eats when he is in childcare?" page. Great tips! I also love the information on "Solids by age". There's even a template for a weekly meal planner with a shopping list attached! This site is a great resource for all parents!

I learned that fish is also one of the best sources of vitamin D outside of sunshine and it's a good source of iron.

I like the part about whining and what to do if your child does it. (Don't give them what they want when they whine!) There's a lot of good information on the site about discipline and what to do about annoying behaviors! :)

I found a couple of new recipes and meal ideas to feed my 20 month old who is starting to assert her likes and dislikes on what I feed her. If it was up to her she would eat mac & cheese, and grilled cheese sandwiches everyday.
