What does your 1 year old have for breakfast?

[Diana1981]

My ds loved cereal at the age of one (no wonder he was so chubby) he also loved french toast, cooked oatmeal, toast with butter, hard boiled egg....
at this stage all you can do is try different things and see what you baby likes..

DD has only just started to eat cereals - I think it was way too painful to crunch them on her sore gums - just had the 4 molars fully come thru!! But she loves porridge, toast and marmite or philadelphia, and she's almost jumping out of her chair to get her daily 1 prune and 1 apricot chopped up!! The sweet fruit HAS to be last tho or else she will refuse her ordinary stuff!! We are waiting on some allergy testing to come back for eggs - can't wait to give her eggy bread or scrambled or dippy eggs!! ... trial and error is the main part!

MINI ME - just a question.  You said you are waiting for allergy testing results from egg - why was she tested?  Did she have a reaction?  I haven't given egg to Gus yet, so just curious.  Toby (my 3 year old) LOVES egg and it's such an easy last minute lunch/dinner to do when you don't have anything prepared - wouldn't be good to be allergic to it!

Tobysmum - Artemis had itchy red spots/rash all over her head and face if I ate eggs whilst breastfeeding - so not sure if she's still sensitive or has grown out of it. She came back negative for egg whites, but the idiots forgot to test for the yolk!!! Here, they do a blood test, so my LO has to give blood again - last time it took 3 nurses and  doctors to get a vein up on her arm but she was soooo good and didn't cry at all - even when her hand was turning blue!
I agree with you that an egg allergy is VERY limiting (although could always be worse and be dairy and wheat allergy!! ) So I'm looking forward to a quick fix for lunches for Artemis if she comes back negative.

My ds#2 loves french toast too - I must be really weird tho - we have ours without the cinnamon and stuff and with tomato sauce on it!     Have never tried sweet french toast!  He also loves cereal (we have 1 day of weetbix, 1 of rice bubbles and 1 of cheerio's) then usually toast with honey or vegemite.  If I am having "soldier eggs" he LOVES to steal a bit of my toast with egg on it.  Same if I am having poached eggs on toast.  Ditto pancakes.  Ditto if I am having tin spagetti or baked beans on toast - he is my little garbage disposal!  Older brother is 4.5 and still won't try eggs or pancakes.

Mel, I found I introduced so many foods to Rory at that cheeky age where she'd 'steal' from the bench while I was cooking!

It's a fun approach. Before she realises, she's tried salmon.

LOL ... DD yesterday had little smoked salmon strips on philadelphia on taost ... she won't touch smoked chicken or smoked tukey, but gobbled down the smoked salmon!!! Talk about having rich tastes!! She'd probably have caviar too if I let it in the house!!

Melsy - we have our french toast with tomato ketchup too!! The thought of having it sweet sounds a bit weird to me?!
I haven't given lo french toast yet but I think I will try it at the weekend

   good on her! She'll need a good paying job to keep it up!
