Should they still eat cereal after we introduce veggies?

Haven1 · December 2010

We started on cereal a couple weeks ago, and they sort of liked it. Mostly just playing around with it in their mouth and making a mess.

We moved onto sweet potatoes this weekend, and they LOVED them. They ate quite a bit and actually "ate" like real little people. (As opposed to the quasi-eating they did with cereal.)

My question is should we still eat cereal at all? They don't seem to like it nearly as much, and now that I know they know how to eat, should we just keep with the veggies?

DS has cereal for breakfast every morning. In addition to me adding it to his fruits and veggies to make them thicker for him since he does much better with a thicker consistency.

I've been reading the book Super Baby Food and according to the author, your LOs should continue to eat grains as part of their diet. You could always mixed fruits and/or veggies into the cereal, like PP said, if they don't like it plain.
