breakfast

NHbride129 · October 2012

Hi Ladies,

I'm wondering what you are feeding your LOs for breakfast. DD is in the 98th percentile for weight and I keep wondering if I am feeding her correctly. So if you give toast, do you butter it? And if you have something like pumpkin bread in your house do you feed that? Or do you stick to just super healthy things like oatmeal, fruit, plain yogurt? Thanks!

We try to feed him as healthy as possible. That's not saying he never gets a treat, but I try to keep it to a minimum. Typical breakfasts for DS are yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, earths best mini waffles, scrambled eggs. I don't do toast often but when I do I put a very tiny amount of no sugar added preserves.

R has greek yogurt for breakfast almost every morning, along with some fruit. If he doesn't, he usually has oatmeal or scrambled eggs with cheese. He rarely eats toast just because I don't usually have bread in the house, but when he does I put butter and cinnamon on it. He is in 25% for both height and weight, for what it's worth.

cheerios, pancakes, fruit,

hes only like 5-10 percentile. Maybe I need to start adding butter

We stick to healthy for meals but I don't necessarily give breakfasty stuff for breakfast. Sometimes it's whole wheat or rye toast, with or without butter, yogurt, and fruit, but sometimes she'll have rice and veggies or pasta. L isn't very hungry at breakfast so half of it usually gets thrown away. She's in the lower percentiles for weight and 50 for height.

Unless their height is disproportionate to their weight or they're eating bacon and Lucky Charms everyday I wouldn't worry about it. Some days Lo has a banana and an omlet with peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Some days she has a small amount of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in no sugar added applesauce. I don't butter her food and wouldn't even if she could have dairy and I never add salt to anything she eats. I try to stick with whole grains and fresh food but I believe everything is ok in moderation.

DS eats Cheerios and fruit for breakfast. He does like PB toast as well and will often swipe DD's leftovers.

If it makes you feel better, DD has always been either off the charts for weight or in the high 90s. We have had to start giving her pediasure because she eats so little that the doctor was starting to get worried about her lack of pudge (seriously, what 3 year old has a developing six pack?)

She eats like a bird. Hardly anything at all. The doctor said that at this age weight isn't something they worry about unless the child looks out of proportion. If your baby is active and happy and looks like a chubby happy baby, you have nothing to worry about.

Most mornings LBB has yogurt and fruit for breakfast (if we're in a hurry I give him yogurt drops - literally drops of yogurt I've frozen).

On the weekends I usually make us all eggs (He loves fakey benedicts where I give him an egg poached-hard on an english muffin with cheese and salsa), waffles, or pancakes.

When he has toast I either put some pumpkin butter, regular butter, or guava paste on it.

Her breakfast is pretty much the same every day - baby cereal mixed with one of those Plum organic blends of fruits and veggies or a puree I've made plus lots of berries (they're her favorite) just scattered on her highchair for her to pick up and either a piece of toast (unbuttered) a mini bagel (no cream cheese) or some other kind of bread.

DD is in the 50th percentile for weight and 70 percentile for height.

For breakfast she typically has a fruit, a protein and a grain. Sometimes it's yogurt, fruit and cheerios, other times it's eggs, fruit and some toast. I usually put a smear of peanut butter on her toast and she loves it. I've never done butter.
