Breakfast Ideas

[Koren]

Hi,

My DD is 11 months old and I am running out of ideas to give her for breakfast. She doesn't want to eat the baby cereal anymore and dry cereal she mostly just throws on the ground. She eats alot of cheeze and bannas. I am looking for a little more variety.

Thanks,

Nechama

p.s. I am not in north america so no specific brandname products please

I started 'adult' cereal at that age. We've had rice puffs and corn flakes cereal with milk. She prefers it crunchy so i don't need to wait till it goes soggy.
Lots of people also use bran/wheat based cereals such as 'weetabix', do you have anything like that? Again, mixed with milk.

You could also do yogurt mixed with fruit or veggies.  Or egg yolks crumbled up with toast & butter.  You could do tortillas (if LO can eat them) and cheese.  Or try peanut butter with toast & jam.

What do people with younger LOs do? Toms been on solids about 10 weeks but the only food he wont eat is baby cerial! so im giving him baby rice at breactfast. The hv told me to cut down on milk and increase solids because of toms size and apitite. He hardly drinks any milk in the morning (only about 4oz) but will wolfe down tons of baby rice 30 mins later! id like to give him something other than br that i can still put formula in (its my sneaky way o ensuring he gets enough milk in the am even if he wonmt drink it from a bottle! :wink: )

Hi Alison, ds is on Heinz Organic Oaty Porridge (4 months+) every morning. I make it up with his formula (& add pureed prunes to keep things moving   :lol: ). Ds loves it, and it's a sneaky way of getting formula in without him noticing. :lol:

If he won't eat baby cereal like this, have you tried mixing it with pureed fruit? Ds also loves it mixed with pureed pears / apples / mango. I just make up a big batch, freeze in ice cube portions, and get one out every day to mix in with the porridge - he might prefer this?
