2 year old breakfast ideas

34 replies

Fonzie · 25/08/2004 13:01

Any ideas for breakfast for 2 year old. We were rolling along nicely on cereal and fruit but it's come to a grinding halt. He doesn't like eggs but any other suggestions are very welcome.

yogurt and a banana

pancakes

Fio2 · 25/08/2004 13:02

my two like good old marmite on toast or pate on toast (or honey, but it has to be local honey!!!)

aloha · 25/08/2004 13:03

toast, fruit

notthecod · 25/08/2004 13:07

pancakes
tesco do them
they freeze too

Blu · 25/08/2004 13:08

Porridge.
Anything that he likes - mine often has chunks of cheese and apple, and we don't necessarily stick to traditional 'breakfast' food.

Brioche rolls
Croissant
Rice pudding

My two Year old doesn't 'do' breakfast, but i can just about get him to eat fromage frais yogurt with different fresh fruit cut up and mixed into it.
Also banana with milk, with a little sprinkle of sugar on top!!

Fonzie · 25/08/2004 13:11

Banana with milk and sugar sounds great but DH is a dentist and so I can't see that going down too well!

toast with jam

notthecod · 25/08/2004 13:16

yes fonz but does dh endure the breadksast refusal?! :O

Motherdearest · 25/08/2004 13:17

Crumpets with butter/honey/marmite (not all together - DDs probably would, but it would turn my stomach to make it for them).

My 20 month likes the odd rasher of bacon too.

Lemon and raisin pancakes.

Blu · 25/08/2004 13:28

cold sausage
ham sandwiches
last night's leftovers
a smoothie

Fio2 · 25/08/2004 13:29

is that your usual breakfast Blu or ds's?

Blu · 25/08/2004 13:49

You've caught me out, Fio!

Kayleigh · 25/08/2004 13:52

cheese on toast ?

.

nailpolish · 05/01/2005 13:22

banana on toast
raisin toast
muesli
ready brek
flapjacks
cereal bars (my dd's favourite is the kelloggs fruit and fibre) and we call them biscuits which makes them sound like a special treat!

popsycal · 05/01/2005 13:24

big fans of crumpets in this house
cereal - eg weetabix with banana
toast - with marmite/jam/ etc
mini pancakes (tesco)

nailpolish · 05/01/2005 13:25

quick poached egg

break egg into cup
break yolk with a knife
add DRIP of vinegar (optional) otherwise teaspoon of water
salt and pepper if want to
cover with cling film loose or kitchen paper loose

put in micro for 20/30 secs depending on whether you want yolk runny/hard etc

can eat mashed in cup or put on toast or whatever

woodpops · 05/01/2005 13:39

Cheese on crumpets
Cheesey scrambled egg
Potato waffle and baked beans
Fruit platter
Natural yog and fruit compote

Nailpolish, can I just ask why you break the yolk or is it because of the age and raw egg and all that jazz?? Part of the fun of poached eggs is dipping your toast in the runny yolk

GreatBigFatHeiferEnid · 05/01/2005 13:46

croissants very popular here, only second to Ready Brek.

nailpolish · 05/01/2005 14:00

rofl woodpops!

its because if you dont break it the yolk EXPLODES in the micro!

woodpops · 05/01/2005 14:18

Oh, I see. That's no fun!!!!!

woodpops · 05/01/2005 14:19

What's rofl as well?? I'm having a dim day !!!

nailpolish · 05/01/2005 14:33

roll on floor laughing.

woodpops, you always make me smile

popsycal · 05/01/2005 14:33
