My boy used to eat a huge plate of porridge for breakfast but he has gone off that now and I am struggling to find something he'll eat for breakfast.
Have tried wheatbix, and wheatbix bits, and toast. What does you toddler have for breakfast? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Toast, a piece of fruit (plums or banana at the moment) and some cheese. I have to mix up what we use on toast - she doesn't eat honey or jam, and reacts badly to peanut butter, so it's marmite, cheese spread, meat paste, cottage or cream cheese. If she's having a fussy day the only thing she will eat is plain fresh bread. |

my kids all liked rice bubbles mixed with yoghurt. the yoghurt makes it easier for it to stick to the spoon too. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Ella eats porriage or weetbix for breakfast, often followed either by a piece of toast or whatever cereal DH & I eating.
How about making a smoothie for me with milk, yoghurt and some fruit? if he likes that you could always try adding a bit of cereal on the top to make it more breakfastly. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Oooh, make one for me too  lol
Jody usually has porridge but every few days I put a different flavour in, like flavoured farex, yoghurt or fruit puree. Sometimes she just has it plain. She has wheat free toast about once a week so she thinks it's pretty special. She doesn't eat wheat though so breakfast options are rather limited. -------------

Jake and taine love porridge, but I also give them nutrigrain...full of sugar i know, but also 25% of your daily iron needs - Taine has low iron so it's one way of getting it into him,. We buy one box a month, so when it's gone, it's gone.
baked beans on toast are another favourite |

Rice bubbles all the way here.
Some days the rice bubbles are dry and the milk is in the cup. On the 'off days' it's fruit, toast & yoghurt. On the days I need to bribe them into the highchairs I make them a smoothie

Turn about:
*Rice bubbles mixed with yoghurt and fruit, usually banana or tinned peaches. *Corn flakes with the same fruit and milk. *Weetbix and fruit. Always a piece of toast and whatever I'm having

| Rice bubbles or cornflakes 99% of the time. Daniel chooses, very rarely he will choose porridge but whatever he chooses gets completely eaten |

Jake has weetbix (with youghurt and sometimes fruit added), rice bubbles or cornflakes. Then toast with marmite or jam. Then fruit (tinned or fresh). Yep - big eater!
On the days hes not so keen, I'll give him nutrigrains or cornflakes in a bowl with some milk in a cup - he prefers them that way. Otherwise yoghurt and fruit (not often though, he eats yoghurt heaps after dinner and is usually keen on cereal and toast unless sick). ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

Cian used to have porridge but now he just has weetbix or cheerios (or a mix of both) with some fruit and milk... he loves it! He also quite likes cornflakes - but dry as a snack rather than for breakfast... ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Callum is starting to go off porridge at the moment too - this thread is great!!!
We do a rotation of - porridge (sometimes with fruit added in, sometimes plain) - scrambled egg and a piece of toast - toast and fruit - fruit and yoghurt Usually he has what we're having, with porridge on the days when we're having cereal. Will have to get some rice bubbles and try those! C loves eating dry cereal, never thought of giving it to him at breakfast time ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Lil has cornflakes and milk. Had tried rice bubbles but she couldn't keep them on the spoon! Hadn't thought of mixing yoghurt in to stop that  then usually half a piece of toast with vegemite or peanut butter. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Toast seems to be a semi hit.
He wasn't keen on the rice bubbles and yoghurt but think maybe it was that he didn't like the yoghurt. I'm just offering stuff and if he chooses not to eat it then he eats a huge lunch. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

A has ground millet cereal made into porridge - I started her on this a she was gluten free until 12mths - it's really nutritious. I mix pear and milk into it and she gobbles it up. The ceres one is good - but the healtheries one is too bitty. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
