What do your children eat for Breakfast??.....Mine are eating the sugariest things known to mankind ATM but surely its better to have that then nothing at all (which would be teh case for ds3)

[ladytophamhatt]

I remember having toast and jam for my breakfast as a child, then a cup of tea with about 5 sugars in because I couldn't taste it due to the jam.

Is it really that bad?????

I think not incase you hadn't realised....

banana and weetabix here
they are only 4 and 2 though so haven't had a taste of a sugary cereal
when they do (no doubt at grandma's) I'll just tell them they can have it round other people's houses but not here
I had sultana bran when I was a teen, toast as a primary school kids iirc

nothing wrong with a bit of sugar, and the morning is the best time to have it so it gets used up as energy through the day.

2 x croissants - one with honey the other with chocolate spread. saturday treat.

weetabix causes havoc in ds4s nappy.....

Shreddies here and then a banana. Sometimes some toast (no jam). Only his grandma gives him jam. She makes it herself - she's a jam pusher ...

Mine normally have a choice of...

Toast (with jam, butter or marmite)
Cheerios
Ready Brek
Weetabix
Cornflakes

belgo, prob abit more then "a bit of sugar" these are cookie crisp...even for me they are too sugar[faints]
they rae quite horrid actually.

Rice krispies/ cornflakes followed by toast.

Not sure if loads of sugar is a good idea as it can cause a a mid morning dip. Is OK if compensated for by something mid-morning.

I don't think there's anything wrong with jam incidentally - he just makes such a vile mess with it that I can't be bothered (he already ends up with crispy hair because he puts the cereal bowl on his head)

oh yeah occasionally i insist on a piece of fruit but not often because ds is resistant

Atm dd's and ds1's favourites are Chocolate Weetos and Cheerios.

Give it two weeks and they'll move onto a different cereal.
We never have the same ones all the time and I can guarentee that they're usually all sugary ones.

I used to have a cup of tea with sugar and a bowl full of sainsburys own cookies
My mother gave in eventually because thats all I would eat for breakfast, lol.

DS has just had almost 2 chocolate croissants. Weekends only for chocolate at breakfast.

On school days he has weetabix with sugar or toast with either peanut butter or philadelphia. Strange child doesn't like jam or honey.

I am hungover so have had a glass of blackcurrant ice tea and 2 nurofen. Just having a cup of tea. Waiting for DH to get up to make me some breakfast.

what are they eating then?

i think sugar in cake fine

as honey fine

never sugar in tea tho

and never sugar on cereal because you dont need it imo

and i wouldnt buy cereals like sugar puffs or frosties

so sugar per se not a bad thing but it does play havoc with blood sugar levels and i am a fan of keeping blood sugar stable so prefer pear and oats

my 2 normally have a choice of weetabix, porridge,rice crispies,toast,eggs, fruit, yogurt for breakfast and as a weekend treat are allowed a sugary cereal
they are currently tucking into weetos in front of cbeebies

I avoid really sugary cereals.

My kids love bagels with cream cheese, eggs (boiled or omlette) if I have time.

On a normal day, it's toast (home-made and half wholemeal) with organic peanut butter, plus a banana. I know peanut butter is not exactly low-fat, but as it's organic there are no nasty's in it and the nuts provide good energy.

I'm not sure how old DS3 is but if you are not happy with what he is eating, don't buy it and try something completely different. Kids generally won't starve and there are lots of ideas for breakfast food. I do sympathise as my DD used to eat barely enough to keep a bird going but since she ha been at school she eats really well.

School days they have porridge/ weekends cheerios, rice crispies, fruit and fibre, cornflakes.
Toast, crumpets, fruit, milk, yogurt.

Today they have had rice crispies and cheerios, crumpets, raspberry and choc chip muffins fresh from the oven.

mine is eating fish fingers & smiley faces LOL
Very rare treat, "cooked" breakfast for her

She is drinking banana & apple juice

mine would love to eat any of the super sugary crap but particular favourite is choc chip brioche so I make them have a plain cereal first or toast and then if they eat it all they can have a brioche

LTH, cookie crisp is horrid. Luckily my kids didn't like it much, but they do generally have chocolatey cereal, cocoa pops (own brand though) chocolate loops or similar.
I Love jam on toast, but chocolate spread on toast has more sugary goodness I'm sure

my nephew (12) has a ham sandwich for breakfast!

my ds is having dry toast

Dd likes grapefruits Even I wouldn't eat one but she loves them.

We have healthy things like yougurt and honey, toast, porrigde but there are also a fair few boxes of crap coco pops and cookie crisp in the cupboard too and they like them as well. If they want that it's better than no breakfast.

Mine have had orange juice / milk.

Baked beans, tomatoes, and sausages, toast and butter.

Then some apple and banana.

DD's 5 and 3, 5 year old off riding so needs her energy, 3 year old likes to pretend she is at the "hometel" on holiday.

During the week, cereal and a slice of toast with sugar free jam.

At the weekend, anything goes within reason.

This morning it was, an onion bagel with bacon in it.

Last weekend it was an avocado and bowl of black olives.

eanut butter sandwiches on brown, with a good slodge of (yes, homemade by me) blackbery jam
