So my DS will be 1 next month and am wanting some more ideas on what to give him for breakfast. At the moment he is having a tin of fruit - watties blue tin - with the baby muesli mixed in and then some toast. He loves his toast and love breakfast! But am just wanting to get away from buying the "special" baby food.
Any ideas would be great thanks!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

at that age all my kids loved rice bubbles mixed with yoghurt. The yoghurt made it much easier for them to eat it theselves and even now my oldest likes yoghurt on his cereal. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

We do weetbix with 1/3 to 1/2 can of fruit in natural juices (and quite often I strain the juice and drink it myself :D ) and alternate it with toast from time to time. Atm we only use hot water on the weetbix because our little girl is not used to milk and won't eat it all if we put some on it, but you boy being older you could use plain milk. You could also try plain rolled oats with fruit ie your own meusli, or even try doing some porridge. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

We do fruit toast, normal toast with various toppings (jam, peanut butter + jam, marmite, cheese...), weetbix by itself or sometimes with a tin of fruit (peaches, pears... bananas sometimes! - but I don't bother with the baby tins, I give the sliced fruit by watties, spc, etc) Hmm porridge/rolled oats (she loves esp with stewed apple!), yoghurt, yoghurt and fruit (our supermarket stopped selling the yoplait baby yoghurt (6mo+) so I've started giving her the 1yo+ one.
French toast, omelets, mashed banana on toast, pancakes... Also re adult cereals... I thought it was best to avoid those because some are really unhealthy with loads of sugar or salt... I recall reading an article about it that you may as well just give them a 'can of coke and a packet of chippies'... ETA: I read the 'better' ones are weetbix, porridge and I think it was also cornflakes that are ok sugar/salt wise. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Breakfast for DD 13 months is usually 2 slices toast (white or wheatmeal) with cheese spread, then a banana or some other fruit such as apricot, pear or apple as finger food. It used to be vegemite on toast but now she won't eat that, and she liked weetbix for a bit but not anymore. Picky child. -------------

We did (and still do) porridge with yoghurt and fruit most of the time. Toast after that if he was still hungry.
Occasionally on the weekends we would have alternative hot breakfasts like scrambled eggs, french toast, pancakes etc. Basically, whatever we eat for breakfast - Jude does too (barring my coffee and milo  )------------- http://lilypie.com">

DS2 eats all finger foods for breakfast most days, so toast, scrambled egg, fruit, french toast, raisins, pikelets, pancakes, ham, cheese. Some cereals that come as a cluster or nutrigrain type one they can pick up. I'm too lazy to spoon it in but DH sometimes makes him cereal and feeds him - just what we have either Ricies or All Bran with milk. He just makes it thicker consistency. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We also do finger foods so it can be toast, occassionally crumpets, pancakes if I get organised, dry weetbix, dry wheaties, weetbix bites and she loves lots of fruit which is generally just normal canned fruit like peach slices, pear, apricots, pineapple etc. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Anything you would have. Toast, weatbix, cereal, yogurt, tinned fruit, fresh fruit. I wouldn't be wasting money on baby food.
At one, DD1 was into toast, a piece of fruit and yogurt. |

Thanks for all the ideas Ladies - lots to try! Yeah am not wanting to waste any more money on the baby food - it has always been easy to just grab a tin and mix in the cereal but it was the only baby food I ever brought as have always made my own. Anyway will wait for what I've got in the cupboard to run out and then try something new!
thanks again ------------- http://lilypie.com">

re adult cereals - some of them have less sugar than kids stuff - you just have to read the back and pick the right ones. I guess I look for less sodium more than anything
the other thing my big girls loves in winter is apple and cinnamon toasted sammys ------------- http://lilypie.com]
