They talked about how sugars in fruits are processed differently in our bodies than well, processed sugars. It was fascinating!! If you have Netflix, I highly recommend! That being said, I don't think a few servings of Cheerios will make all that big of a difference. I think if you always gave him sugary cereals, it could affect him though. The less the better really, but everyone is a little different so we all have a different threshold for what we can handle without adverse side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugary-cereal-for-baby-amp-morning-naps#post-2261724 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 11:46:48 +0000 Freckles 2261724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha that's where he bought them. Okay, good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugary-cereal-for-baby-amp-morning-naps#post-2261722 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 11:43:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2261722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much does he actually eat? I don't know that amt he eats would be big enough to make a difference either... But I can certainly see how the sugar can keep him more hyper?? That or it's sleep regression :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugary-cereal-for-baby-amp-morning-naps#post-2261711 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 11:29:54 +0000 autumnlove 2261711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it would make a difference. We bought that cereal a lot (2 pack from Costco) and LO 2 didn't have nap issues around that age. I was more cautious about added sugar for LO 1 and she was a terrible napper the first 14 months of her life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sugary-cereal-for-baby-amp-morning-naps#post-2261707 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 11:26:45 +0000 Freckles 2261707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally give our 8.5 month old some (regular) cheerios in the morning, mainly to practice feeding himself while i get his breakfast ready. This morning DH got breakfast ready for both kids...i came downstairs and upon looking at LO2's tray carefully, i noticed that he didn't give him the regular cheerios, but the multi-grain cheerios he bought by accident. I was really annoyed since i told him when he bought them that they were sugar coated and i didn't want LO1 having them too frequently; what made him think they were okay for a baby?</p> <p>Anyways, i find out he has been giving DS these cheerios for the last two weeks. He doesn't do breakfast all that often, but a part of me wonders if it's the added sugars that affects his naps on the mornings DH was in charge (yes, i know there is sugar in fruits, bread, etc.)? Thoughts? </p>
