breakfast?

alice&bump · Jul 11th, 2009, 12:50 PM

i dunno what to give katie for a bit of variety. if she has toast she kinda plays with it more than eating it, and weetabix and porridge are getting a bit boring.

mum said she used to give me rice crispies, but i've looked at them and they're full of salt and sugar. i just want a bit more variety for her!!

perhaps beans or scrambled egg, and maddi loves fruit and yoghurt too x

you could always add some different tpyes of fruit to cereals?

We add different fruit purees to porridge to make it more interesting - usually mashed banana or apple puree.

ooo fruit purees is a good idea!! might try porridge with a swirl of jam in too - she'd love that!!

carly, she wont eat scrambled egg, and beans...well...she's bad enough with weetabix!!

Like the others, we add fruit to his porridge. He also loves greek yoghurt with different fruits in. Remember, they're not old enough to know that certain foods are meant for certain meals, so anything goes!! Even some stuff from you tea the night before. Oliver has had some very odd things for breakfast and quite heartily woofed it down!

We add strawberries to everything as he loves them but you could add allsorts of fruit. Maybe some yoghurt. I eat toast everyday though so I'm not very adventurous! I feel like it's possible to buy a plain rice crispie type cereal with nothing added but I can't think who by or where... What about a different weetabix type food? Mini shredded wheat soaked in warm milk? Or weetaflakes perhaps?

give it a few months hon and she might like them then - maddi didn't like my scrambled egg, but she likes dippy egg, though i no peoples opinions differ on when they can have soft boiled, so thats down to you honey

def add fruit to porridge, i make it mashed for maddi and freeze it and then in the mornings just defrost quickly and mix it in, her fav's are raspberry and apple

x

edit - just to say - i agree with kat! they don't no what food for what meal yet, maddi sometimes has a ginger biscuit after breakfast, the little organic men thing! instead of toast this is, or warm bread, i really want to make maddi my own bread soon! xx

Mark gets mini shredded wheats softened in milk, and particularly likes the ones from Tesco with blueberry, apricot or cranberry filling (some sugar from the fruit but not too much IMO.) If she is good with finger food and a pincer grip set the wheats on the highchair tray and she can feed herself. Mark also does this with mini weetabix.
