New Cereal - holy probiotic Batman!

I wanted to get Sean Patrick a multi-grain cereal since he has been doing well with both rice and oatmeal. Instead of the same brand, I tried a new organic cereal from Happy Bellies that includes DHA and probiotics. The cereal itself has a very smooth, creamy texture and does not need as much milk to prepare than either the rice or the oatmeal...Dan likes to call it "goop" :)



SP took to it right away when introduced to it about a week and a half ago (on April 16th...yes, I know the exact date because I keep a food calendar). I have been introducing foods in 4-day intervals. The first two days with rice cereal and the last two days with oatmeal. Well, I decided that when we do vegetables, I would switch the oatmeal with multi-grain and reserve oatmeal for breakfast only for now.

Sean Patrick has liked it so much that while we've been on zuchinni, I've given the multi-grain to him 3 days in a row. Holy crap. And I literally mean crap. This is the third day and we've had, count'em, three huge poop blow-outs. Well at least we know the plumbing works - thanks to the probiotics in the multi-grain!

I've since purchased the Happy Bellies Oatmeal as well, SP will get that as soon as we run out the Earth's Best.
