What do your kids eat for breakfast.

At the moment all DD will eat for breakfast is baby cereal (a 6-12mo one) with fruit.

We have tried wheatbix, no go. Toast= just eat the spread then throws it away.

I need some other options and things to try as she cant eat that cereal for ever.

My kids eat porridge with yoghurt or tinned fruit , crumpets , sardines on toast, banana smoothies and pancakes oh and scrambled or hard boiled eggs and baked beans.

they sound like good ideas but tried all of them and she just spits them out.

Yoghurt and fruit?

Ds is only 7 months old, he'll have either: yoghurt, baby cereal, weetbix or toast (although toast is always accompanied with something as only 505 actually ends up anywhere near his mouth!)

cant do yoghurt as she has CMPI.

Bugger! there goes my only idea for you! Sorry!

Could you make up a fruitsalad?

Why can't she eat that cereal forever? It's nice, I assume it's healthy?

DS drinks milk, milk and more milk. He has just started complaining of a sore belly so I think we'll go back to adding prune juice to his milk.

He might have cereal at before school care but he's not a big eater.

I guess she could eat it forever but just wanted her to have more varity.

I should just keep her on it as everything people have suggested she wont eat or just spits out.

She isnt a big eater hardly eats a thing.

I used to think this for DS, than I figured- hey, milks healthy- what's wrong with it. I now get the A2 milk so it's the best for him. If he's going to be drinking that much that often than at least he's getting the best stuff for his little body.

We get variety mostly in cakes and dinner.

DD mostly has porridge.

She also eats Plus (it's a flaky, bran-y cereal with fruit pieces - there'se a few varieties), weetbix and Cheerios.

Toast is another i give her... as well as egg on toast (scrambled) or a soft-boiled egg with soldiers. Crumpets, or English muffins happen occasionally. Fruit toast as well.

I've also made some muffins with wholemeal flour, oats and blueberries, and honey rather than sugar to sweeten it up.

I used to have trouble with breakfast for her, but she'd often eat those pre-packaged breakfast bars.

Pikelets or Pancakes are another you can try.
