To give my 2yo DD fish fingers for breakfast?

My 2yo asked for fish fingers this morning. She's been poorly with various viruses on and off for weeks and this week she's been off her food and vomitting for a couple of days (there was a break of a couple of days and then she vomitted yesterday too).

This morning she greeted me with, 'good morning. I want a fish finger.'. After further discussion she still seemed keen on fish fingers so I am cooking some for her.

Seems like a weird food for breakfast but how nutritious is cereal really?

Justhecate so funny. I had a baileys for dinner last night, it feels like a meal!

Well if fishfingergate is anything to go by then yes YABU, because really, how long would it have taken you to wrap a salmon fillet in foil with some olive oil and a lemon wedge and bung it in the oven?

FFS, some people have no idea..........

YANBU to serve up fish fingers for breakfast in general.

YABU to serve fried food for breakfast to a toddler who has been throwing up the previous day. Bland, simple foods would be better as first proper meal after a long vomiting spell.

Who fries fish fingers? Confused

My DSs love to have tinned veg soup for breakfast - I think it is a bit Hmm but let them carry on. Nutritionally it's fine, if unconventional.

Many countries don't have this thing about food that is only eaten at breakfast. Most cereal is foul anyway. Hope your daughter is feeling better.

Cote, you fry fish fingers? Seriously?! :o

When DS hadn't eaten for nearly 3 weeks with pneumonia, he requested chocolate buttons for breakfast. I have never been so happy as to hear the little chap (who the GP had called an ambulance for a week before), request food. I gave him every chocolate button in the house and went out to buy more.

YANBU. Many a time I've had curry for breakfast or pasta or soup or stew. It doesn't matter to me what people have for breakfast, after all, food is food and if those foods were all a person had to eat for the day, then breakfast, being the most important meal of the day, would be the ideal time to eat it.

That's what I need to live in a country like that

I went to boarding school and we often were served fishfingers for breakfast. One of the delights of my childhood.

Along with hot liver sausage on toast.

I had lasagne for breakfast today. :)

YANBU

The only thing I wouldn't allow for breakfast is choc / sweets / pudding, everything else green light.....

Curry for breakfast is perfect for stopping a hang over in its tracks, especially when drunk with a can of coke!
