Six Breakfast Cereals Argue Why They Should Replace Cheerios As The Preferred Finger Food For Babies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Life<\/strong>: Let’s get real. Unless you plan on keeping your kid in an ivory highchair forever, you have to teach him about sharp edges.

I’m tough, stringy, and make your gums bleed. That’s why they call me Life. I’ll show your baby that he has to chew hard on challenges, and that mashing his enemies into a fibrous pulp is worth the pain. Try me yourself. Without milk. Right now. I dare you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
