Breakfast ideas for 2 year old - what is the least bad cereal after weetabix

138 replies

jdd0709 · 25/04/2007 21:32

Im sure this has been asked before but would be grateful to hear some current suggestions.

My ds 2 normally has weetabix then toast or fruit but I and him are getting a bit bored. At the weekend I do things like porridge, pancakes etc but weekdays are very rushed getting ready for nursery and work - we get up at the last minute in this house - so any ideas for anything quick and easy?

What is the next least bad breakfast cereal after weetabix and porridge? Are cheerios in any way healthy?

slightlymadsockmonster - stop getting involved in the breakfast chitchat. you have spent far too long on this one already!

I think it is based on the FSA traffic lights. Amber is the following range. From this you can work out red and green. Less than quited is green, more than quoted is red

amber
Sugar - 5-15g per 100g
Salt - 0.3-1.5g per 100g
Fat - 3-20g per 100g
Saturates - 1.5-5g

No probs and Fat will always include saturates even if it is quoted seperately as well AFAIK.

Sorry haven't read whole thread, but we alternate between ready brek, weetabix, oatibix, porridge made with polenta (really quick and quite nice actually) and millet porridge. I tend to avoid giving him wheat at breakfast time because I try to get a different grain into each meal. It is too easy to have wheat for breakfast, then bread for lunch and pasta for tea!
