Cheerios can provide anywhere from 10 to 13 percent of the total daily recommendation of vitamins in a one-cup serving. Multi Grain Cheerios have been proved to provide around 25 to 33 percent in same. Vitamins like niacin, thiamine, riboflavin and folic acids obtained from Cheerios can build up a strong base for a healthy body. Sugar is the simplest form of energy. A proper amount of calories and carbohydrates is essential for fulfilling the baby's energy needs throughout the day.
Original Cheerios contains mostly fewer amounts of sugar as little as 1g per cup, whereas multi-grain contains 6g per cup and flavored Cheerios can provide as much as 16g per cup.

If you're eyeing the Cheerio box and wondering when you can crack it open for your baby, make sure she's hitting these milestones well on her own before you offer a selection of whole grain treats. See All Trying Birth After. Raising Kids.
