Gerber lil bits

sara1025

I was at the store the otherday and saw that they now make lil bits oatmeal that has Strawberrys in it. I know they make the breakfast buddys but I dont think my lil guy was to crazy about them. He loves breakfast and eats a wide varity! It said for a crawler and my son is now 2. Is it pointless to see if he would like it? I know its good in iron and I want to make sure he gets his iron! I have always had low iron and was anemic. Thoughts? Or is buying it pointless?

It's probably cheaper to just buy some oatmeal and fresh strawberries. Healthier too because the berries won't have been dehydrated.

No harm in trying it! I'm always trying to add more variety to breakfast foods. I feel lately like it's always a waffle, bagel, or dry cereal. I'm still giving LO a tablespoon or two of baby oatmeal a day since he's tested on the low side for iron. I'm sure since he eats well he's getting enough iron from other sources, but it just makes me feel better to know he's getting that for some reason.

oh really?  I didnt know they made breakfast things!  What kind of things do they make?  Do they carry it at Babies r us... or Walmart?  I have only seen the other products they carry for like lunch or dinner

Only a tablespoon or 2?! Dang, DS takes down like a cup of cream of wheat with 1/2 cup yogurt and fruit in it! Maybe I have a little piggie on my hands!

Oh haha I just meant I give him that amount to ease my mind as far as the iron thing goes....he eats quite a bit more of other stuff along with it!
