breakfast dilemma

[mummytojames]

from four months my ds has been eating weetabix porridge or yoghurts for breakfast fine (now nine months but eating bigger lumps than in twelve month jars and finger foods like toast fine) well now he will eat youghurt at a push same as porrridge wont touch weetabix its as if hes sick of them he dont like rice crispies or cornflakes so i remember people on here saying about cherios went out brought them now thinking will he be able to eat them
anybody else come across this please help

Hi there... my ds was the same, especially now in the warm weather, he doesn't want hot cereal anymore. I've been giving multigrain cheerios with milk; I still have to spoon feed as it's trickier than the regular mush! He also likes Special K and Shreddies so you could try those, maybe give them dry to see if he likes them as finger foods first? Good luck!

thanks skerries mum im going to do that and i will definatley e trying you idea of the others as well expecialy the finger food idea i'll do it for his tea cant give it to him as finger food for his breackfast because he thinks give him finger food or a spoon for breacfast is a open invertation to throw food at me funny realy because he has finger food for his tea and he sitsthere happily munching away
thanks again for answering so quickly

My Ds1 went through a phase of having shreddies or oat krunchies in a bowl without milk - so he could eat them himself as finger food. It's also very useful if you're late and he can eat them in the car!

thanks tommy i will have to put shredies on the list i gave him cherios as finger food today for his breakfast with a yoghurt as stand by to see what he would do after a few minuites of looking at me asif i was nuts he ate 8 no problem then his had went nuts trying to throw them of the table lets croos or fingers for tomorow

My toddler is quite fussy so through trial and error I give her: A whole banana cut up and just put on tray.
Mixed shreddies and cherrio's in bowl with milk then just spooned a bit on tray
Also cherrio's and shreddie's do cereal bars if you want to try them?

Glad to be of service - hope it helps! Should add that DS1 is about the worst eater you can imagine so any "tips" I have are not necessarily fool proof!

MTJ, for what it's worth, Weetabix has always made my 14yr old niece, and my 4 year old, gag. Her dS and my dd2 love it, though Must be like Marmite ......
