chunky breaky ideas

[workin'mumof2]

ok so she cant have wheatbix or banana. and shes getting frustrated with apple and pear.. or bored. lol

what else could i try for breaky.

i tried yogurt she hated it with a passion just like farex.. she likes to pick up stuff and chew with her gums. :laughing:

can she have peaches yet? i think strawberries are reccomended at 9months..and oranges coz they are citric :confused:

[jellea88]

yes she can have peaches and apricots, avos, nectarines, plums prunes pumpkin and mangoes. Maybe try mixing the yoghurt with the fruit and let her explore. (i know its a bit messy but you might find she like the yoghurt because it has the texture of the fruit as well.)

Cut banana, toast fingers, fruit purees, mango, blueberries, plums etc...??

[zoe20]

try the banana and mix it with yogurt - my little one loves it - we mash the bananas though

[workin'mumof2]

i should have re worded for first post... she cant have banana as she reacted to it..

thank you for all the suggestions.

i like the toast fingers idea

blueberries... will they make her poo look blue :laughing:

French toast is nice (aka eggy bread), here's a link I found for a recipe (easier than me typing :p): French Toast (http://kidshealth.org/kid/recipes/recipes/french_toast.html). Sometimes when DS won't eat breakfast at home, I put the french toast (cut into squares) in a small container and he eats it in the pram as we head out for our walk. I also drizzle maple syrup over the french toast before I cut it. Yum.

Or how about porridge? Just pour boiling water over the oats to soak for a while, stir in a dash of milk, maybe bran/wheatgerm/honey and stir over low heat until thick. You could also add pureed apple or pear to it at the end to include some fruit.

what about soft steamed or stewed chunks of fruit. Porridge? Can she have eggs yet??? (i cant remember at what age that should be)

[workin'mumof2]

considering shes reacted to banana i will leave egg to the 12month mark:yes:

My bub has toast cut in triangles with Avocado spred thickly! She loves it. or sometime with the Tuna spead, or a tiny scrape of vegimite.

Baby museli (is got like bran flakes and little fruit pieces, oats etc)

I Peel green grapes (seedless) and bub eats those, they squish between her gums.

Watermelon

Crumpets, i cut them in quaters and cut the hard edges off, she cant get enough of them!

Muffins (the breakfast ones like Mc Donalds) i just put a little scrape of butter, she like them like that.

Cant think of anything else at the moment!

Kel, I love those ideas! I'm going to have to use some of them for my DS... he's starting to become a bit like Ruby, in that he won't eat unless he tries too... for the moment though, he's on Rafferty's Garden banana porridge. Yummy!
