We can't do every last bite organic, I think you have to be realistic about that and just make the best choices for your family. The low sugar is definitely important, considering we're talking about feeding little kids. They have a whole lifetime to overindulge in the good sweet stuff (and a good chance at it too, considering they're related to me and I have an absurdly sweet tooth), but I don't like the idea of it happening now. Sugar does bad things to my littles. Have you noticed that with the boys at all? It's not pretty. Funny for a moment, but not for long. I'll look into the Heritage O's too (we're big fans of Heritage Flakes). Zella doesn't have any teeth yet, so any cereal she eats needs to be gummable.

I have to say, though, that in the scheme of things, Cheerios is actually not very sweet at all. Among mainstream cereals, after shredded wheat it probably has the lowest sugar content (I think it's 2g, off the top of my head). Obviously not organic though... We used to love Heritage O's, by Nature's Path. I'm pretty sure they're not very sweet, and they're extremely crunchy (too crunchy for little ones?) though some time back I'm betting they started using sugar (instead of fruit juice, or whatever good thing they were doing).
