DS2 is driving me potty ... he simply will not touch breakfast and by 10am is sooo grumpy and by 12 noon - ravenous! I posted a thread a few weeks back and you all gave me fantastic ideas - 90% of which I've tried, the other 10% I'm planning to try - no good, the mouth zips closed as soon as a spoon appears. If I give him a spoon to feed himself he hands it back to me - cheeky beggar!!
He goes to bed at 7.30am with a b/f, has a small b/f at 11pm and then not usually til 6.15am (which is really his breakfast milk). He doesn't gorge or take huge quantities during the night so I really don't think he's full. I daren't cut the 11pm feed yet as he's only sometimes sleeping through and want to sort that before taking it away.
What on earth can I do/try. Cereal choice is limited for 2 reasons ... a) DS1 eats a good, healthy b/fast of readybrek or weetabix with mashed banana and if I offer DS2 something different, he'll throw his head in the air and refuse his (he has constipation issues so need to keep him on high fibre cereals) and b) DS1 has nut allergy and immunologist advised to treat DS2 as though he has one too ... you wouldn't believe how many cereals contain nuts or nut traces - aaargh!
So ... what other ideas can I try?
Thanks
