Do you give your LO cereal with milk, or just dry cereal and then a bottle\sippy? I have tried feeding my LO cereal in milk with a spoon, but my LO doesnt get it, and he spits it out. He has been really bad with breakfast lately and hardly eating anything so I am trying to get creative. He doesn't want any of his cereals and he seems to be tired of oatmeal.

for breakfast Cade gets dry cereal and usually a banana or some melon and a cup of milk. sometimes he gets toast with apple butter or scrambled eggs.

I never FEED him food, he feeds himself, so obviously milk and cereal is NOT happening around here.

My mom gave Rosie some milk and cereal and she said she did good with it. But we have yet to do it ourselves. I like the least amount of mess with meals as possible unless its supper and bath night.

So if we do cereal its dry with a banana.
The only time I feed at this point is oatmeal and I am not sure why I still do..lol

Rosie gets a variety of breakfast foods. I felt bad towards the end of my pregnancy because she kept getting dry cereal with fruit because it was the easiest thing to make.

But she gets scrambled egg, ham and cheese, waffles, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, french toast. She almost always gets some form of fruit with her breakfast.

Ross gets dry cereal and then milk in his cup, letting him feed himself cereal with milk would be a messy disaster LOL

We aren't big cereal eaters, so I have never even tried cereal with milk. I try to give her lots of different things for breakfast...her favorites are quiche, waffles, and yogurt.

Hallie gets cereal with milk but I feed her. That's one of the few things she will let me feed to her. The cereal is few and far between though. She usually eats whatever me or dh are eating.

For some reason I hadn't thought of giving her cereal with milk! I need some more breakfast ideas so maybe I will get one of those bowls that suctions to the table and try that. Right now we do oatmeal, scrambled eggs, waffles/pancakes and cinnamon toast.

Sometimes I give her dry cereal, sometimes I give it to her with just a little bit of milk. I give her a spoon, but she mostly just uses her hands. She prefers to feed herself.

I'll my share cereal w/ milk when I eat breakfast with the kids. I'm not brave enough to let him try it on his own, but I give him a spoon or baby fork when he has his other meals.

We save the dry cereal for snacks & breakfast is usually fruit & toast or something like that.

Usually it cereal with milk in the sippy cup. He will eat it off my spoon though and he likes it.

my mom bought me one of those and Liam just tries his hardest to get it to unstick
so whatever is inside it ends up ALL over the place

I only eat dry cereal myself, so thats what Liam eats, with a sippy of milk on the side
he loves his cheerios
i always carry a small tupperware container of them in my purse and let him nibble on them while we're out

Every once in a while (today in fact) I give Heidi some cereal either dry or with milk. Today I did it with milk to soften the cereal for her. She just picks it up with her hands and makes a mess but eats it all.
