Reviewed by: Chad
I wasn't expecting anything magical out of the gyro bowl, but it really did over deliver on my expectations. Face it, you can't expect ANY contraption this accessible to a toddler to protect against any and all spillage. But it certainly will prevent a handy portion of the spills you would have had to clean up if your child was eating out of a traditional cereal bowl.
The Gyro Bowl is pretty funGuest
Review from Sheron Witt
I bought a gyro bowl for my 2 year old to tote around the house. My husband got a little tired of messing with Michael's spills in the mornings before he had to leave for work, and that eventually started to wear off on me, too. The gyro bowl not only did what they said it would do in the commercial, but I find myself playing with it too sometimes. I guess it's a pretty neat toy for adults, too (so long as you are as easily amused as I am)!
I would recommend making sure you look at the quantity before you click "buy" if you're going to buy online. I recommend buying online, but just make sure you don't accidentally buy 5 of these (unless you want 5). I have a friend who ordered 3 when they meant to only order 1, but she has 2 kids anyway, so she just says that makes it one less dish she has to clean.

QUESTION:
Baby cereal?
My baby is 2 months old and eating about 8 oz in the morning and 6-8oz at night when is okay to give him a tablespoon of cereal? He is 13 pounds 7 oz. He is very advance for his age.-
ANSWER:
Doctors are going to tell you betwee 4-6 months. That is when I did it for my 3 children. I lent more towards the 4 months. You say that your child is advanced for his age, and that might be true. but the fact is that he swallow reflex might be totally developed yet, and giving him cereal too early will just cause him to gag. And please DO NOT make the nipple in the bottle bigger and put cereal into the bottle. This dangerous too, because the flow of the nipple is not regulated the way that it should be, and he chould choke on that.
For now, I would just suggest, that you hold off on the cereal for about another 2 months. You don't want to rush him into things. he is already going to grow up faster than you know it.

QUESTION:
baby cereal?
My bf will not listen to me about not giving our baby cereal yet. He is only 2 months and my bf thinks we need to give it to him now. He says it will help him to sleep. But my baby sleeps well already and thru the night. Also, he says his mom is telling him to do it and that his mom did it to him. I don't think it is nessisary. He drink 5 oz. every 3 to 4 hours. He will go 7 hours in the night without it too. What should I do to convince him that it is not needed, help me. We are fighting about it.-
ANSWER:
No no no!! He should not have anything but breastmilk or formula for 6 months. Two months is way too soon. Babies need to develop their motor skills to be able to hold their head and sit without support before they cna have anything somewhat solid.
If you/he are not convinced then consult your local WIC office. They should give you handouts and consultation regarding what to feed your baby and when to advance thier diet.

QUESTION:
What is the diference between baby rice cereal and baby oatmeal cereal?
My baby spits up like crazy out of her nose and the doctor put her on rice baby cereal but she seems to be getting constipated from it, is oatmeal cereal the same thing? She is one month old is oatmeal cereal safe for her?-
ANSWER:
The difference is literally that one is made from rice, the other is oats. Most doctors like to wait on giving babies oatmeals, due to allergies in wheat, until the baby is older. They may even wait longer if the baby has had an allergy to milk...Rice cereal at one month? She's too young, I would say. Her tummy isn't developed enough yet. I mean babies this age spit up milk. It would stand to reason to spit on the cereal.
My guess is her tummy isn't ready for it. I would stay away from the oatmeal for now. It isn't recommended until they are at least 6 months.

QUESTION:
Can I skip the baby cereal and just go straight to real oatmeal?
My son is not quite old enough to start solids yet, but I was just thinking about this so I decided to ask. Instead of the baby cereal can't I just skip it and go straight to regular old fashioned oatmeal? I have heard that baby cereal isn't that great for them anyways.-
ANSWER:
Why not cereal?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9646449/page...
Take rice cereal, for example. Under conventional American wisdom, it's the best first food. But Butte says iron-rich meat — often one of the last foods American parents introduce — would be a better choice.Dr. David Ludwig of Children's Hospital Boston, a specialist in pediatric nutrition, says some studies suggest rice and other highly processed grain cereals actually could be among the worst foods for infants.
"These foods are in a certain sense no different from adding sugar to formula. They digest very rapidly in the body into sugar, raising blood sugar and insulin levels" and could contribute to later health problems, including obesity, he says.
The lack of variety in the American approach also could be a problem. Exposing infants to more foods may help them adapt to different foods later, which Ludwig says may be key to getting older children to eat healthier.

Cereal is not at all necessary, particularly the baby cereals. Regular (whole grain) oatmeal is more nutritious for your baby.http://www.askdrsears.com/faq/ci2.asp
The truth is, there is nothing special about these foods that makes them better to start out with. Babies don't actually even need rice cerealhttp://www.llli.org/llleaderweb/LV/LVDec...
Meat provides additional protein, zinc, B-vitamins, and other nutrients which may be in short supply when the decrease in breast milk occurs. A recent study from Sweden suggests that when infants are given substantial amounts of cereal, it may lead to low concentrations of zinc and reduced calcium absorption (Persson 1998). Dr. Nancy Krebs has shared preliminary results from a large infant growth study suggesting that breastfed infants who received pureed or strained meat as a primary weaning food beginning at four to five months, grow at a slightly faster rate. Dr. Krebs' premise is that inadequate protein or zinc from complementary foods may limit the growth of some breastfed infants during the weaning period. Both protein and zinc levels were consistently higher in the diets of the infants who received meat (Krebs 1998). Thus the custom of providing large amounts of cereal products and excluding meat products before seven months of age may not meet the nutritional needs of all breastfed infants.
Meat has also been recommended as an excellent source of iron in infancy. Heme iron (the form of iron found in meat) is better absorbed than iron from plant sources. In addition, the protein in meat helps the baby more easily absorb the iron from other foods. Two recent studies (Makrides 1998; Engelmann 1998) have examined iron status in breastfed infants who received meat earlier in the weaning period. These studies indicate that while there is not a measurable change in breastfed babies' iron stores when they receive an increased amount of meat (or iron), the levels of hemoglobin circulating in the blood stream do increase when babies receive meat as one of their first foods.http://www.westonaprice.org/children/nou...
Finally, respect the tiny, still-developing digestive system of your infant. Babies have limited enzyme production, which is necessary for the digestion of foods. In fact, it takes up to 28 months, just around the time when molar teeth are fully developed, for the big-gun carbohydrate enzymes (namely amylase) to fully kick into gear. Foods like cereals, grains and breads are very challenging for little ones to digest. Thus, these foods should be some of the last to be introduced. (One carbohydrate enzyme a baby's small intestine does produce is lactase, for the digestion of lactose in milk.1)[...]
Babies do produce functional enzymes (pepsin and proteolytic enzymes) and digestive juices (hydrochloric acid in the stomach) that work on proteins and fats.12 This makes perfect sense since the milk from a healthy mother has 50-60 percent of its energy as fat, which is critical for growth, energy and development.13 In addition, the cholesterol in human milk supplies an infant with close to six times the amount most adults consume from food.13 In some cultures, a new mother is encouraged to eat six to ten eggs a day and almost ten ounces of chicken and pork for at least a month after birth. This fat-rich diet ensures her breast milk will contain adequate healthy fats.14
Thus, a baby's earliest solid foods should be mostly animal foods since his digestive system, although immature, is better equipped to supply enzymes for digestion of fats and proteins rather than carbohydrates.1 This explains why current research is pointing to meat (including nutrient-dense organ meat) as being a nourishing early weaning food.http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content...
The results indicate that in a group of healthy, well growing 12-month-old Swedish infants one-quarter is iron-depleted, although iron deficiency anaemia is rare, and one-third may be zinc-depleted.
