cereal and yoghurt

[ozzy]

Hi,

I have been giving lo baby cereal for a while now such as cow and gate porridge and hipp creamy porridge and then i add my own fruit puree to it however it is sooo expensive and a box dosent seem to last very long.
What other cereal can i give to him instead?
also, been giving petit flours and little stars yoghurt once a day for pudding but i just woundered if there is a healthier alternative to these yoghurts?is it ok to give baby yoghurt once a day as i am running out of pudding ideas
thanks ,im clueless as dont eat breakfast or yoghurts myself
xx

I use weetabix for lil miss in the morning and add a fruit pureé and boob juice to it... seems to go down a treat and helps her poop as she gets terribly constipated at times. She got spoilt this morning as I didn't have any fruit pureé left as we had to go shopping this afternoon, so she got weetabix and half an organix reduced sugar apricot rusk (my gods that was a mouthful) that is apparently lovely

For desserts, we get a big tub of plain fromage frais (its what they make Petit filou out of ) and just mix in a fruit pureé... that tends to go down a treat too... or you can make your own yoghurt, by using natural unflavoured yoghurt and adding the fruit again. Basically once a month I go buy a ton of fruit and make a load of pureé as it is so versatile... it can be used as dessert itself, added to dessert, added to breakfast, even added to certain meals... lil miss had cabbage and pear last night

I dunno about the UK but it works out cheaper that way... but I remember when I had Tia, buy fresh fruit and veg in the UK was more expensive than buying pre prepared stuff

I give my LO oatabix mixed with his milk, he also like banana cereal. Ive recently been giving him petit feluois for desert 3 times a day (he LOVES the stuff) but i really should give him other alternatives, think hes getting to used to getting his own way!

We have Ready Brek to try next week, I liked this as it has no sugar or salt in it. We also plan to give Weetabix.

We give Muller Little Stars, but also Rachel's organic do baby yoghurts with no sugar (just fruit puree and juice) and Sainsburys kids fromage frais are the same just sweetened with purees. I was going to do what Squiglet suggested but I am too lazy!

Ella also has fruit purees for pudding after tea.

I tried plain fromage frais but she didn't agree, even mixed with fruit puree. So i buy those big tubs of bio pots and she loves it. Loads less sugar than the kids stuff.
