Every child is different, especially when it comes to first foods and being picky eaters. You'd think that by the fourth child I wouldn't have to go internet searching first foods all over again, but that's exactly what I did. And with my little guy's food allergies, the wealth of information out there was very much appreciated!
Babycenter.ca and Cheerios has a new First Foods section full of tips and recommendations to help out with our new eaters. And I'd like to share a couple tips that worked for me:- Keep trying! Just because they don't like those veggies today, doesn't mean they won't change their mind next week!
- Alternate between bites of applesauce and the food they don't like. They might be willing to eat both if it means the next bite is something they do like!
So want to hear about the great giveaway they've sponsored? You have a chance to win a Cheerios Prize Pack valued at $50! It includes a Cheerios On-the-go Tot Container, Cheerios playbook, Box of Cheerios, Bowl and utensil set and a $30 Cash Card!
All you have to do is check out the new Cheerios Food Section and comment on something you saw there ~ is there something you liked or didn't like about it? Did you find a helpful tip? Will you bookmark their site for future reference? 
Giveaway will be open to February 14.
Giveaway will be open to February 14. Disclosure - I am participating in the Cheerios First Foods program by Mom Central on behalf of General Mills. I received a gift card as a thank you for my participation. The opinions on this blog are my own.

I still like to look at that site to see what to try next for feeding. My little guy is having a hard time with lumpier foods- too bad they didn't have any suggestions.

I just saw that stew is an easy thing to make for her! Never even thought of that :)
My kids love cheerios! Especially Nolan :) This is a great idea!

I liked the "creative foods" section for 12-18 month olds. Great ideas!! :)
I liked the first foods to introduce to your baby section.
I loved the site and have already bookmarked it. I found it to be very user friendly with a great layout. The info and recipes are worth checking out!
my kids love cheerios, and it is a great starter for babies when they start wanting to eat on their own for a snack
Always good to learn new tips!!

I liked the Annabel's recipes! My little guy is 10 months and jarred organic baby food is expensive!! These recipes are really simple and can be frozen! Thanks. I bookmarked it!
We eat a lot of cheerios in our home! I liked the website, lots of great tips. I think I'll try smoothies with my kids like they suggested :)

I love giveaways :) All my kids love cheerios! This is such a GREAT idea!
Some of those toddler recipes look pretty good! My kids love pancakes, so I think maybe I'll try those yogurt ones for breakfast tomorrow. My kids love Cheerios too! They're pretty much a staple for Kylie right now! :)
I like prizes too and I think Ben's favorite snack is cheerios.
I love Annabel Karmel...have a great book by her...going to try her hidden vegetable boulognaise recipe. Thanks Rebecca!
I loved the variety and amount of information there. I will definitely be passing it on to friends. there are some great recipes too.

I cant wait to try Cheerios with Julia :D
I would like to see them make a wheat-free/ Gluten-free version of their plain Cherrios.
If you do decide to wean your baby onto solids before six months, there are a number of foods that need to be avoided, such as those containing gluten, eggs, cheese, dairy products, fish and shellfish. I didn't know this my sister in law always gave her babies eggs.

i like the recipe for Chicken balls with spaghetti and tomato sauce
I thought Baby gender predictor - boy or girl was cute
We have been eating Cherrios at our house for 40 years never get tired of them always some in cabinet.etude37@gmail.com
I love how there's recipes and the food is sectioned into by age.

I saw that there are lots of articles to help mom's out with baby. From feeding solids to what baby needs. I will bookmark this site because it could come in very handy

I love the straight-forward and easy to disseminate articles and commentary, because frankly there is a lot of divergent information out there, you need something quick and easy to understand.
In my case, I especially appreciated the article on Vitamin D... As someone whose ancestors are from equatorial climates with darker skin pigmentation and now residing in Canada, Vitamin D deficiency is a big deal for me and even moreso more my baby. The easy to understand instructions and information was great!
Please accept this as my entry. Thank you!

The list of first foods to puree is great - my guy is 2 months so the day is coming for us!
The weekly meal planner is an awesome idea. I have 2 very picky eaters and this will help so they can help pick out the meals for the week. Hopefully they will try new things as well.

I have an 18month old daughter who is devolopmentally delayed and it is really hard to find things for her to eat. She cant even eat cheerios yet only really wet foods like the stage 3 foods, oatmeals ect... she is going to be getting a nuritionist so once she starts being able to eat I cant wait to see all of the options :)
