BLWeaners - what do you give your baby for breakfast?

[camera]

any ideas?

[fibernie]

Toast spread with fruit puree, cheerios, apricot wheats, cranberry wheats, eggy bread, banana (coat with baby cereal if difficult to hold onto).
Above are all easy (no preparation) breakfasts...
look on Aitch's blog www.babyledweaning.com for the famous porridge pancakes....

[BizzyDint]

thick porridge

rice krispies soaked in milk then milk drained off (so just a lot of semi soggy krispies to pick up!)

banana on toast

butter on toast plus a peach

scrambled egg on toast

porridge pancakes

crumpets (or any other bread type thing)

yoghurt poured on fruit

(or sometimes we go to ikea and dd has a bread roll, fruit, and some organix snack things they sell, and sometimes one of my hash browns )

[caspercat]

Eggy bread

Toasted soda bread with Philly

Scrambled egg (well cooked)

Banana bran muffins

Sliced melon, banana, pear etc

Cheese on toast

[DetentionGrrrl]

toast, scrambled eggs, bananas, and more recently- weetabix dipped in milk and broken in half for him.

[CanSleepWeirdShifts]

Raisin wheats soaked in milk and (part of a) crumpet most days.

[GingGangGooley]

Raisin Wheat with a tad milk or they go too soggy.

Mini Oatibix.... have noticed this forms some not so nice cementy type poo poo!

Banana

Melon

Mango

Toast with philly on.

I have found that she needs more fruit or fruit with toast etc because it doesn't fill her up as much!

HTH

[CanSleepWeirdShifts]

I don't get the mini oatibix thing - normal oatibix are really good on the additives/sugar/salt thing, but I won't buy the mini ones because they are packed with crap. Why do they do that - can't they just make a smaller version of the same thing ffs?!

[chirpygirl]

Banana, shredded wheat and raisins in milk and smooth peanut butter on toast.

Every day.....

When my morning sickness was really bad this was all I could face making for her and she had it for about 2 weeks and now refuses to eat anything else!

[claireybee]

At the moment my LO will ONLY eat dry cheerios for breakfast...not too happy about the sugar content for everyday but sure she'll grow out of it! She has any dry cereal (she doesnt like it with milk) or toast and butter, sometimes porridge or fruit. I'm very lazy when it comes to breakfast!

[moogyboobles]

I'm avoiding allergens until 1 so it can be tricky. Plus Jensy isn't always hungry that early on so he just has a nibble while I make up the packed lunches. We do the school run, he has another snack and then lunch about 12.
If I have time ds3 has porridge made with water and various additions (such as cinnamon, vanilla, bananas, raisin, apricots...)
Millet flakes
Melon
Blueberries
Peaches
A wheat free, dairy free cake
Mango biscuits

[MrsApron]

waves hello to moogyboobles (baba_worshipper in disguise) Still using the hammock ta!

was shouting to dh the other night look look that is the former owner of our hammock. You were great!



And yes rice cakes fruit otibix toast etc

[AitchTwoOh]

CSWS, is that right? i bought the mini oatibix cos dd loves mini shreddies (or nearest non-nestle offer) but when i got them home and read the ingredients they were full of sugar. so the big ones aren't? that is weird and annoying.
and hi to moogyboobles... your baby is gorgeous. i hope you don't mind but i've linked to your youtube page on my blog.

[CanSleepWeirdShifts]

It is indeed Aitch. Think the big ones have about the same amount of stuff added as weetabix, which is really tiny, so you need those and a means of uniformly breaking them without them crumbling - if you come up with one then let me know!

[moogyboobles]

Thank you Aitch and you can link away to anything of mine you like. No problem.
Sounds like there's a niche that needs filling, cereals not full of rubbish. Perhaps someone like mums4 could do it.
My gripe is oat o shapes. I don't do nestle but noticed quaker do oat o shapes. But they contain wheat too. I cannot find o's without wheat.

[mainlymayday]

Can I ask a dumb question. I am thinking of BLW but I thought we were supposed to avoid wheat and milk until about 1 year as they are possible allergens. So that means cereal is out, even oat cereal, if it needs milk, as is toast...

What am I misunderstanding?

[CanSleepWeirdShifts]

Gluten and dairy should be avoided until 6 months, not a year, unless there is a history of allergy to either. You don't have to use cows milk on cereal though - you can use whatever baby's normal milk is, be it breast, formula or rice milk.

[moogyboobles]

I'm avoiding allergens. Cereal (millet or rice at the moment) I give dry or perhaps rice milk (I can't be bothered to pump just for cereal). Porridge I make with water.

[AitchYouBerk]

don't forget as well that in teh beginning the whole thing about breakfast, lunch and tea is a bit forced. i reckon it took up months before dd had all three. so breakfast was often just bits of fruit, a porridge pancake or leftover dinner from teh night before.

[nally]

dd2 will be 6 months old in just over a week. this morning ds and i made smoothies - strawberries, bananas, mixed other berries and milk. was quite tasty and dd2 was watching us with her big big eyes, so i let her have some on a spoon. she will be ok though won't she? there was much more fruit than milk in it and she didn't have loads

[TeeCee]

I absolutley coundn't get my head round the whole thick porridge that you could slice idea, ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

DD had / has

toast
cheese on toast
omlette
eggy bread
fruit
rice cakes
I made fruit loaf

[AitchYouBerk]

it's nice, tc, honest. in fact as a scot i can't get my head round runny, sweet porridge. my folks always made it so it'd stick to the spurtle.

[TeeCee]

You will NEVER get me to like fat thick cold lumpy porridge. Hot, a bit runny and covered in so much sugar it cruc=nches, or even better a load of golden syrup.

I'd never let my kids eat it like that but that's how I used to love it.


Ewwwwwwwwww - porridge you could slice with no sugar. I mean just give em a bowl of gruel and be done fgs. Hard fat porridge, that's just cruel parenting!

[AitchYouBerk]

oh no... it was made with whole milk and stirred and stirred, and then we kids would get the cream from the top of the milk splashed into it. we would eat it with spoons but it would be all stick so we'd have to lick it off the backs of the spoons. yum. and the porridge pancake is really just a thin layer of porridge that sets in the bottom of a bowl, so you can hand it over easier.

[CanSleepWeirdShifts]

Ooh yes, I have golden syrup on my porridge too TeeCee. The pancakes don't have to be unsweetened though - I've done them for dd with apple, banana and sultanas.

[AitchYouBerk]

ach, you fairyish sassenachs. [dismissive]
