bran cereals

[fleebee]

can a toddler eat bran cereals? its just that my daughter loves these cereals that I have but I wondered if they were a little harsh for her digestive system?

[NoMercy]

They'd only be too harsh if she didn't take enough liquid with them. Try soaking the bran for a couple of minutes before giving it to her. Also oats are great, gentle on the colon, low G.I. keeping blood sugar levels stable, thus facilitating concentration. Great start to any school day.

also remember that bran may just fill her up but hold no great nutritional value

i feel eating bran, wheaty stuff in the morning gives me bad tummy pains. but oats seems to be fine for me.
