Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedClassic Cheerios are recommended as one of the best everyday breakfast cereals for pregnancy. Made from 100 percent whole grain oats, they supply soluble fiber to ease constipation along with full daily values of folic acid, iron, and zinc. The ACOG highlights folic acid and iron as critical prenatal nutrients to prevent birth defects and maternal anemia. Pour one cup of Cheerios into a bowl with pasteurized milk and top with fresh sliced strawberries.
