to ask what your DC eat for breakfast?

[Hoptastic53]

I'm having trouble getting my six year old to eat anything for breakfast. The past few days it's been just a multivitamin and a yoghurt. She used to eat toast and fruit but is fed up with toast now and no longer wants fruit at breakfast time. She doesn't like anything cooked like eggs and won't try any cereals. What do your DC eat?

My DCs eat standard breakfast stuff, but my older DC (10) Will also eat things like a ham sandwich if he's a bit bored of cereal/toast. He'll even occasionally heat up leftover tea from the night before! Other days, if he isn't hungry, he'll have a bit of fruit and buy a bagel or something from the tuck shop at school

Excuse typos! I'm my phone! Toast not roast!

My daughter's breakfast of choice is cream of tomato soup! She never liked toast or cereal, she loved tomato soup, so it became breakfast. It's fairly healthy and easy to do, with some bread and butter.

Smoked salmon?
Tomatoes and mushrooms on toast?
Leftover dinner?

What does she like to eat the rest of the day? Is it the timing of the meal or the actual food on offer that's the issue for her?

It's weird I know but I feel weird at the thought of tomato soup for breakfast!

Actually my DD was telling me about her friend who eats soup for breakfast. Maybe it's more common than we thought!

DS has nothing most days but he's at least healthier than me as I just have a coffee... I know breakfast is supposedly important I just don't like it!

She doesn't eat eggs so pancakes are out

Doesn't eat eggs or can't eat eggs? As there's some amazing egg free pancakes out there if not being able to eat eggs is the problem.

I've got a fussy DD 5yr old

Potato croquettes at moment.

Occasionally those cook in oven in 10min rolls plain nothing on it.

Porridge with handful of frozen berries

Slice of cheese & slice of ham.

Jordan's cereal bar if running late with half pint glass of warm milk.

Is there any lunch items you child likes? Mine like ham & cheese with crusty bread too, for breakfast.

My 3 year old rarely wants breakfast which makes it difficult now he's stared pre school as I need him to eat before 8.30am.
I've just bought some thick smoothies to try on the suggestion of a friend. If he will.eat it's usually fruit or yogurt so I'm hoping this works.

DD has half a sliced banana, half an apple, dry cheerios followed by a yogurt. She's eaten this without fail for over a year now. She will also happily eat pancakes/toast/eggs but she doesn't view this as breakfast as she will then ask for her breakfast of banana, apple and cheerios!

Porridge with 'unny. Usually blueberries too and then a mashed banana.

He gets toast and jam at the weekends as Daddy is here and he likes it too!

Personally I can't stand breakfast and have never been able to! A cup of tea will tide me over until 10/11am!

DD likes her breakfast, she eats cereal or hot cross buns or toast with the dreaded Nutella or croissants, fruit and yogurt or whatever. Her best memory from my cousin's wedding last year was the hotel breakfast buffet. She would love to have pancakes but I don't have time for that sort of shit.

DS is 15, he eats an apple or banana on the way to school if he can be arsed. I remember being forced to eat cold mighty white toast with congealed flora margarine at his age so I have some sympathy with his breakfast aversion now.

Full English - stylee here (sausage, egg, bacon or belly pork type stuff) plus always a LOT of green veg and maybe a more starchy root veg like carrot, parsnip, leek.

Sets us up for the day; lunch can be pretty token after that lot.

Disclaimer: Smug home educating bastard who rarely has to rush in the morning.

Egg, sausage or bacon sandwich plus a hot cross bun. DS2 occasionally has peanut butter on toast, when DS1 isn't looking.

Would she eat something savoury? A croissant with ham and cheese for example.

She sounds quite particular about food, what would she choose if she could have anything? Yoghurt is not a bad breakfast, are you concerned because she is hungry not long after? Bearing in mind her lack of interest in any bread based products I would think about chunks of cheese and apple with some raisins perhaps. My DD was always a bit ambivalent about breakfast and often going off things but loved pancakes and now she is a teen she sometimes has cereal or toast but often eggs & toast... v sporty so needs fuel! DS was and is a dustbin... so any cereal going much like OH who would live on the stuff

Smoothie made from yogurt, oats and fruit - frozen berries are good for them.

porridge, branflakes or weetabix

youngest will only eat yogurt and fruit - change fruit weekly so it's not too dull

Smoothie - frozen banana, milk, oats, spoon of peanut butter powder or cocoa powder or milkshake powder

Try some granola in the yoghurt? It works when DD is being fussy!

DS (12) will eat either weetos, cocopop rocks or ready folded crépes plus half glass of sS milk.
Dd (15) has been through many a breakfast phase and is currently choosing a bowl of healthy granola stuff with added protein. He has ARFID though so I'm pleased he actually wants brekkie at all.

She went through not having anything other than hot choclate stage but I'm happy if she at least has a drink. She soon became aware that she needed more to sustain her until breaktime.

my eldest likes fish fingers and broccoli.
my youngest has pasta.
My youngest had multiple critical food allergies so we don't discriminate between meals!

Toas
Cheese and cream crackers
Olives and cream crackers
