so everything has sugar and salt in it or is boring and only worth spitting out according to my dd - any suggestions for great organic healthy cereals?

I give my twins porridge with banana mashed in - they love it.

We are dull when they were little it was weetabix/porridge/shredded wheat.

Now they are bigger they have all they above plus cornflakes/cheapy rice krispies which are healthier than branded ones.

DD was amazed when she went to breakfast club and there were options like coco pops with chocolate milkshake followed by chocolate spread on white toast Shock

raisin wheats - not organic but only 3 ingredients (Shredded Wholewheat, Raisins, Glycerine) plus vitamins

My DDs grew up on Cheerios :)

My toddler loves Lizi's Organic Granola - truly yummy.

My 2 year old DS has concrete Weetabix everyday. He doesn't realise there are other cereals available.

If you fancy cooking muffins are great for breakfast, or pancakes or scones, you can make them with fruit in if you want, banana scones are lovely. Do all have a bit of sugar in though.

You could do a home made muesli with loads of different types of fruit and little / no sugar?

My DS loves a big plate with a mound of natural yogurt in the middle, surrounded by circles of grapes and slices of apple or pear and drizzled over with honey or maple syrup.

My DD likes beans on toast or cheese on toast for breakfast (& lunch and dinner if she can wheedle it).

A breakfast omelette or scrambled eggs are healthy and tasty too. On Sundays I sometimes do a mock Spanish omelette with potato and onion in - I make sure I have a few ready boiled potatoes in the fridge by cooking too many on Saturday.

Cereal wise we stick to Weetabix, corn flakes, rice crispies and raisin wheats. Plus porridge, DS likes it with stewed apple or other stewed fruits on top, also you make it with part fruit juice and part milk - apple juice gives it a lovely flavour.

And mine like popcorn and fruit salad!

By the way, DS (8 yrs old) recently discovered that 4 weetabix a day has a bad effect on the digestion. More white bread recommended as a cure...

Would you agree then, that things like cocopops are not ideal for young children. My childminder made me feel a bit rubbish for suggesting that I dont want my child to eat those cereals.

Can I have some reassurance?
