Certainly used to give this to mine as babies when they were too tired to wait for whatever was cooking

Won't slate you at all. dd occasionaly had breakfast for dinner when she was younger and too tired to eat.

How does she last till 6pm for dinner? Mine are starving by 5!

my grandad used to give me weetabix buttered with golden syrup on it. Only for breakfast though...

Weetabix + milk = same ingredients and nutrients as pasta and cheese / cheese sandwich

Porridge might have been marginally better. It all sounds fine to me.

I think it's fine, if that's what she wants and it's nutritious. Sometimes we should just let them have what they want.

completely fine - I do it either when he is getting tired or I can't be bothered thinking of anything else. So the month either side of me having ds2, ds1 had ALOT of weetabix for tea

I used to give DS Weetabix for tea when he was in the "not eating bloody anything" stage, having tipped a lovingly prepared meal in the bin. Thank god he's grown out of it.

DD often has weetabix for dinner if we've stayed at the beach a bit too long.

You should add golden syrup.
It's one of my best memories of my grandad.

I have weetabix for tea lots of times. I also have it post 10pm if my previous tea seemed to have not been enough.
