Breakfast ideas for 8 mnt old who insists on feeding herself!!!!!!!

[twolittleducks]

Can anyone suggest what they gave to a 8 month old who refuses food on a spoon now??
Anything finger food wise? DD2 is living on toast!!!!!!!!!

baked beans is a fab finger food
scrambled eggs, or omlette
malty wheat thingies with a bit of milk so they don't get too soggy
fruit

eggy bread nice plain or sweet or savoury

Baked beans, never thought of that!! That will keep her occupied for ages, thanks...

Eggy bread.. I love eggy bread [thinks about making eggy bread right now]

shreddies. go soggy but don't really fall apart

weetabix minis if you are lackadaisical about nuts like me (or maybe in a month or two)

quite stiff porridge (they just eat it with their hands)

my dd refused any help with food from 7 months so we just slapped everything on a highchair tray and she'd shovel it in some how

crumpets, potato cakes and different types of bread ,toasted and cut into fingers

scrambled egg is defintiely a good one

dry cereal

cut up fruit

toast and marmite
they love marmite
wierdos

shredded wheat (supermaret own not nestle...) soaked in a little milk

pancakes - cut into strips

lol.. right, I am off to sainsburys first thing, exciting breakfasts here we come!!

PPN- DD2 is exactly the same, she will not have a spoon so she is into feed yourself mode at the mo, suits me coz i can get on with my own dinner but runing out of ideas of things to give her!!!

Pancakes!!

Aren't baked beans quite salty?

yes they are salty, you can get low salt ones if this bothers you, but I'm not suggesting she has beans every day (must remind ds2 that he can't have beans EVERY day!)

mashed up fruit spread onto thin strips of toast, my 8 month old loves this

wedges of boiled egg, sliced peeled apple, pieces of croissant, watermelon, sliced oranges, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, raisins, prunes, slices of mozarella

Ahh everything was finger food in this house.

Dry cereal with milk in a cup on the side.
Fruit - banana, satsuma, strawberries, halved grapes
Crumpets
croissants
muffins those ones you toast
Cheese
Tomatoes
slices of hard boiled egg (a bit early for this tho??

gloopy porridge.

Those tiny shredded wheat with apricot inside, just sat in a tiny splash of milk so they're soft underneath, but dry on top and keep their shape (it's not complicated really!).

Go down a treat in this house.

Thanks for all the ideas, dont know why i never thought of shredded wheat, they've got nothing on them as well!!!

Clary- if i buy croissants, i will end up eating them all myself

Thanks for all suggestion, dont know why i didnt think of the shredded wheat idea meself

clary- i will end up eating all the croissants myself before they make it to the highchair

those cereals with holes in - hooplas or cheerios - are perfect finger food.

without the milk I mean!

twolittleducks lol yes I have that problem too.

Except my DCs are now big enough to come up and grab/demand what I'm eating! (does this ever stop?)

Mini bagels from Sainsbury's (with jam, honey, whatever). Perfect for little 'uns to grab hold of.
