What does your toddler eat for breakfast?

KYRN · January 2011

I feel like I'm giving him the same things every morning, I need some new ideas. When he was about 1, maybe a little older he would eat oatmeal several times a week, now he won't even try it

My little one is 3 and she is stuck on the same things!!! They usually consist of:

French Toast Sticks

Scrambled Eggs

Pancakes

Fruit

Oatmeal

Bagel with either cream cheese or pb&j

Sausage links or patties

She LOVES carbs, just like her mamma!!!

We need new ideas too. Elizabeth's been stuck in a waffle and banana rut for a few weeks, but since it's fast and easy when we're trying to get out the door on time, I go with it.

Last night I made zucchini carrot muffins. This morning she saw them, called them cupcakes and chowed down. Who am I to argue?! I threw in flax meal and used applesauce instead of oil to make them healthier.

pancakes, french toast, waffles (store bought), berries, bananas, cereal with milk- usually rice krispies, scrambled eggs with cheese, cheerios. I hear you on the oatmeal. Jake will eat a few bites of mine, but that's it. I'd love for him to eat it more.

I had made some muffins from deceptively delicious that had pb, carrots and bananas in them. He liked them but I think there was too much sugar. I need to go through the book again and see of there is anything else I can make him.

Wow, your kids get awesome breakfasts!

My kid gets baby oatmeal with peanut butter stirred in almost every day. His doctor told me to continue to feed him baby cereal every day, and he'll only eat it with PB, so...

He's very picky. Won't touch eggs or french toast. He used to refuse pancakes, too, but we tried them yesterday and he ate three, so I guess I'll put that back on the menu!

Once in a while he'll have toast with peanut butter or cream cheese.

I'm just happy if he'll eat. Period.

DD is a pretty picky eater. She used to eat yogurt, oatmeal, or cereal (either dry or with milk) every morning along with 1/2 banana. Now she won't touch yogurt. She'll pretty much only eat oatmeal, and she won't always eat that. She loves cheese, so toast with cheese works too. Sometimes she'll eat a cereal bar or homemade muffin. I'd love to give her pancakes or eggs, but she won't touch either. The joys of toddlerhood

whole wheat toast with peanut butter or all fruit

yogurt

all kinds of waffles or pancakes (she LOVES cottage cheese pancakes)

fruit (banana, apples, blueberries, etc)

omelets

cheese toast

hard boiled eggs

For more ideas, check weelicious.com. She has great ideas for breakfast.

We mix it up with a handful of things (or a combination of these things). I'm better about serving a well balanced meal on the weekends.

fruit (daily)

pancakes

french toast

waffles

granola bar (Earth's Best organic kind are the ones she likes best)

Cheerios (dry)

scrambled eggs

toast with jam or peanut butter

yogurt

smoothie (greek yogurt, strawberries (or whatever berries we have), banana, milk, and ice in the blender)

emmyloustu · January 2011

Scrambled eggs with cheese & whole grain toast

Toast with fruit spread or butter

Yogurt

Bowl of cheerios

fruit - she would eat an entire meal of fresh fruit

Waffles

Mini bagels with butter or cream cheese

Mark eats a whole banana and a yogurt everyday. And then besides that he also gets some else depending on what we have, cereal bar, scrambled egg, waffle, pancake or cereal.

Today he had: strawberry banana yogurt, 1 1/2 bananas, a handful of golden grahams (my breakfast) and an egg scrambled with cheese and 2 pieces of ham.

He gets fruit every morning I just feel like I could be doing better.

I'd say thats a pretty awesome breakfast!!

nicolita14w · January 2011

pancakes almost every day, occasionally waffles, with pureed fruit or veggies mixed in (he will not eat any fruits or veggies unless they are disguised)

Million$$Baby · January 2011

Charlie and Lily share a banana every morning and then have one of the following:

- waffles and yogurt
- scrambled egg and a few mini pancakes
- peanut butter pancakes (peanut butter sandwiched between two mini pancakes)
- french toast

That's really all that's in our rotation. I always give them a handful of yogurt melts after their meal too. Oh - and mine won't eat oatmeal anymore either - unless I'm eating it and then they're all about mooching. Stick out tongue

You know, I've never thought to give them cereal with milk. I have some Rice Krispies...maybe I'll give them each a small bowl for snack later and see what they think.

GreenEyedGal · January 2011

I make a big batch of homemade waffles every 2-3 weeks, freeze them and he has one every morning along with a side of fruit and sometimes Cheerios if he's extra hungry.

SeptGirl05 · January 2011

Quick breakfast:

- Toast or 1/2 bagel w/peanut butter

- Cheerios w/milk and cut up bananas

- Eggos w/butter

When I have more time:

- Egg over easy on piece of toast with a slice of cheese and slice of cooked ham - believe it or not, she loves this! She tears it all up though and eats it in her own way

- Homemade french toast

On weekdays Cal has 2 full straw cups of a smoothie made with banana, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries (banana & blueberries are always consistent; sometimes we switch up the other fruit), sometimes ginger, sometimes probiotics, yogurt, milk, ground flax seed, peanut butter (or other nut butter), and molasses. It's very filling and has dairy, fruit, protein, and fiber, so a pretty balanced meal. He has a snack at his babysitter's around 9:30, but the smoothie is his actual breakfast.

On weekends we have oatmeal pancakes or oatmeal or eggs, but he still always asks for smoothie (or, as he calls it, "hmee-hmoo")!

My kids are stuck on cereal or eggs. They used to love waffles and pancakes but not so much anyore.
