Toddler Tip-Yogurt & Cereal Mix Up

Thought I'd share another tip today. You know how toddlers are incredibly messy and they have kinda awful dexterity especially when it comes to using spoons? ;) Well, Addie is no exception. There are many things she loves to eat but when it comes to breakfast she really likes yogurt and cereal of all sorts. Yogurt is often very hard for her to keep on the spoon and cereal is a pain because she spills the bowl and it falls everywhere for the dog to eat.



Solution: Mix the yogurt and the cereal! She gets extra calcium and nutritional value from the yogurt and it becomes so much easier for her to get onto the spoon. The cereal doesn't fall on the floor and the yogurt doesn't drip off the spoon. It's perfect! She loves it and eats every bite. Her face and hands are still messy, but the alternatives are much worse.







Also, I buy very few brand name food items but I do purchase Dan-o-nino yogurt by Dannon. It comes in mom and kid friendly small servings, is sweetened with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, is full fat for growing toddlers and my 4 year old's visible rib cage hip bones ;), has lots of yummy flavors, and it is super thick so it is perfect for the kiddos to eat without the drippy issue. It usually costs around $2 for the six pack but I often find coupons for .50 to 1.00 off and you can usually find them included in sales at Kroger. These are awesome for lunch bags too!
