What do you give your 6month old for breakfast.......

[LadyTophamHatt]

thats not in a jar or out of packet???

[magnolia1]

Ds1 is now 7 montsh but he has weetabix (yes I know its a packet ) with mashed banana or just a banana or toast or......... Ok hats about it
I find breakfast the hardest to give from scratch so do cereal most of the time.

[witchandchips]

porridge
yoghurt and fruit
muesli

[witchandchips]

whats wrong with breakfast cereal thats not of the cheerio's variety?

[MrsBadger]

any no-sugar-no-salt adult cereal
splosh with milk to soften and pick up in fingers
rice krispies etc, but mini shredded what v good.

(means you have to spend one Tesco visit reading packets till you work out which are ok though)

[bizziebee]

porridge, porridge, porridge, (bit stuck in a rut, ) She is only just six months though.

[olivo]

mini oatibix and a slice of melon.
toast and marmite (hmm, maybe not marmite for 6 mo, but soft cheese? butter?)

[LadyTophamHatt]

Thanks girls.

You'd think bt No4 I'd know what to feed them.....

I cannot believe I didn't think of TOAST!!!

[magnolia1]

Lol, I'm on #5 remember and I am finding the solids thing so hard.
Poor boy doesn't like to hold food I think he's going to be one of those children who hates messy hands.

[PavlovtheCat]

Porridge, sweetened with a bit of cooked frozen summer fruits/stewed apples if you want to add a bit.
Baby rice with same fruit as above.
Mashed banana/avocado - although she was not so keen on this, either together or seperately.

[PavlovtheCat]

DD also liked to hold things, but this might have been closer to 7 months? She had scrambled egg, cooked with a splash of milk, in the mircrowave for 1min (1000w), cut into chunks, so she could grab it and hold it (keeps a shape in mircrowave) Great first finger food, as long as your LO is ok with egg.

[hana]

slices of fruit
toast smeared with mashed up fruit ( usually banana)
weetabix
porridge
shreddies

dd is nearly 10 month, but has been having the above since she started foods at about 7m
hht

[magnolia1]

Ds1 is 7m and hates holding food. Not sure why he just gets really pee'd off and squeezes it so tight it flies out of his hand or breaks

[PavlovtheCat]

Magnolia - LOL I have this image of a little iron man sat in his high chair, with throbbing arm muscles and an incredible hulk type of expression, and a peice of scrambled egg squished in his little mits!!

[Hels67]

It's still early stage weaning for DD but for breakfast she has mashed banana or stewed apple or pear, either alone or in combination, sometimes mixed with yoghurt and sometimes I add in dried apricot as well - all those combinations give her something different everyday of the week, but I'm going to try cereal or porridge next .

[magnolia1]

Pav that pretty much describes him

[Highlander]

BF.
May offer him a scrap of toast from my breakfast. Very occasionaly he gets offered Ready Brek after I've taken DS1 to nursery. He rarely takes more than 3tsp.

[ScottishMummy]

ready break

or organic yoghurt and banana

[Jomaja]

I found the recipe for a healthy banana cake in one of the threads (not sure which one though) and ds liked that one, did not contain sugar and was made with wholemeal flour.

[Aitch]

the recipe's on the www.babyledweaning.com blog if you're looking for it, lth. i find mini shreddies (own brand, obv) and porridge are best for us.

[LadyTophamHatt]

He's just had his first taster of taost.

Generrally squished it together, moving from one hand to the other.

I think some of it went in his mouth...he certainly had a butter smeared face

Is thsi your famous blog Aitch? No time to read it ATM but will have a nosey later....

[Aitch]

that's the one, lth. there are some really good recipes on there, i'd have to say. i didn't write most of them...
