DS4 is currently devouring a bowl of porridge.

He sometimes has yoghurt and a cereal bar. Or weetabix.

He has been known to ask for pizza....

We are not a big breakfast family.

Weekdays are normally granola, eggs of some variety , porridge or greek yogurt and fruit. Today we had pancakes as we were awake at silly o clock.

Weekends we tend to have bacon and eggs or similar.

The 1 yr old normally has a Weetabix and banana.

fleshmarketclose · 21/11/2018 07:45

Bacon roll and a glass of milk usually. As food is generally of no interest then I indulge her with whatever she fancies as breakfast is the one meal that she seems to eat,

Camomila · 21/11/2018 07:46

Porridge
Rice krispies/multigrain hoops
Toast
Any of the above plus fruit
Shares daddys omlettes at the weekend
'Italian breakfast' pastry or biscuits dunked into hot milk

My 20m/o usually has:
Porridge with frozen raspberries and a slice of toast with butter and jam or marmalade (has this most days)
Rice Krispies with milk, toast, fruit
Dry Cheerios, fruit and strawberry 'milkshake' (it's literally milk, frozen strawberries and a drizzle of honey)
Toast with peanut butter, fruit salad and yoghurt

Once a month, he can have porridge followed by chocolate spread on toast.

He LOVES breakfast and is always ravenous so eats a lot.

My DS has had the same breakfast routine since he has been on solids and how he isn't sick to death of it yet I don't know.

Soon after waking he will have a banana and a yoghurt. Approx an hour later, he will have a bowl of porridge and a sliced up apple on the side.

I have tried and tried to get him to eat cereal or other breakfast foods but he has none of it. He occasionally eats toast if there's no porridge (breakfast club.)

Tisfortired · 21/11/2018 07:51

I should add he's 5 now! That's a lot of porridge!

Pascha · 21/11/2018 07:53

Peanut butter crumpets this morning. Sometimes it's weetabix with banana and the other favourite is omelette and toast.

happypotamus · 21/11/2018 07:57

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 21/11/2018 08:01

It varies but favourites are eggy bread,scrambled egg and toast,toast and honey or bacon sandwich (at the weekend)

thismeansnothing · 21/11/2018 08:05

Today she's DD (6) is eating granola, milk and chopped banana and has a glass of water.

Sometimes it's wheetabix/shreddies/porridge. Sometimes toast and jam or peanut butter. Occasionally dippy/scrambled egg n toast

ScouseQueen · 21/11/2018 08:07

Wholemeal toast and butter, sometimes with Marmite, or porridge / shredded wheat / rice crispies. At weekends it can be all sorts: pain au chocolat, bacon sandwiches, omelettes or scrambled eggs, fry up...

Cuzcothellama · 21/11/2018 08:14

Mine are weetabix addicts. DD1 occasionally veers into other cereals, but DD2 is faithful to her weetabix. DD2 also has a second breakfast, usually brioche or fruit toast.

Unexpectedbaby · 21/11/2018 08:15

DD (2) normally demand 'bix' so Weetabix when we go downstairs. She can reach where they are kept and goes for them straight away. I switch up the flavours each time I buy them.

She is with SIL most weekdays and there she has either Weetabix, Cheerios, toast or an omelette. But at home she won't eat anything if it's not Weetabix or toast, or if it's mine of course. God know why.

user187656748 · 21/11/2018 08:17

DH does breakfast and its the only meal he is ever responsible for. He makes the most of it and does them some form of cooked breakfast most days.

Yesterday it was sausages egg and beans with toast.
Day before it was bacon and egg sandwiches
Today they had pancakes though since we had lots of eggs to use up.

Kim82 · 21/11/2018 08:18

Today my 4 year old has had Aldi’s version of weetabix minis, my 11 year old had a croissant and a banana, my 14 year old had bran flakes. They have similar most mornings.

Ragwort · 21/11/2018 08:20

17 year old loves a bacon sandwich, today he is having pain au chocolate, also likes an omelette, or peanut butter/marmite on toast. Very occasionally cereal. Usually has an orange or banana as well. We love breakfasts in our house, favourite meal of the day!

OddestSock · 21/11/2018 08:22

Both mine tend to have a bowl of porridge with a bit of Nutella stirred into it.
They’d have croissants every morning if they could.

tomhazard · 21/11/2018 08:23

Shreddies or weetabix. DD loves breakfast and usually has a bit of toast and marmite too. DS not really bothered eats about 6 shreddies

JollyAndBright · 21/11/2018 08:26

DS(11) usually has a veggie breakfast burrito, (tofu scramble, spinach, beans, mushrooms and potato)
I make big batches of them in advance and freeze them so it’s an easy breakfast, it just needs microwaving for two minutes.

Workreturner · 21/11/2018 08:27

I stuff mine

This morning... wafer thin chicken slices, baked beans, seeded toast, followed by pineapple and apple and a glass of kefir

confusedofengland · 21/11/2018 08:27

There is always a choice of cornflakes, weetabix or toast (with honey/jam/marmite)on weekdays. I have muesli & the little 2 decided they wanted to try that today.

At weekends we have crumpets, croissants/pain au chocolat or waffles or sometimes a frittata or healthy fry-up (sausage, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, toast).

TeddyIsaHe · 21/11/2018 08:30

Jolly that breakfast burrito is such a good idea, I keep looking for easy breakfasts for dd and this would be perfect, she loves a wrap. Freezing and microwaving - genius!

DwangelaForever · 21/11/2018 08:32

I usually give my two year old toast and fruit and either cereal or porridge and she usually devours the lot. She hasn't entertained fruit since about 2 weeks ago and won't eat cereal anymore so she's still on porridge and toast. If we have a weekend breakfast she will eat beans sausage bacon etc. She doesn't seem to like eggs apart from in omelette form
