My DS 2.4 will no longer eat breakfast - what can I do??

He doesn´t have a big appetite but until recently did eat a good breakfast, porridge or weetabix with honey, fruit juice, yoghurt and some sort of fruit.

However this has recently gone out of the window and he´s just not interested any more in whatever I give him. Have tried other cereals, toast, bread, cheese, ham etc. I have actually run out of ideas. He seems happy with a drink and very little else

I´m worried.....

Mine went through this stage. Sometimes they are just not hungry in the morning. Can you offer some toast/ceral later on?

I know it sounds silly but do you have breakfast?
I never used to have anything more than a cup of tea for mine until dd went through a stage of refusing hers.
Then I realised she'd want what I was having at lunch and dinner so tried at breakfast and it worked.

Does he drink a lot of milk in the morning? Sometimes it can be too filling so they aren't hungry until later.

My last resort for getting my two to eat(especially in the mornings because tv is banned til 3.30) is chopping up loads of fruit putting it on a plate and serving it while they're watching tv. They seem to eat anything when they're tv-zombies

My DD sometimes goes through a phase where she does this at home, I think it is because she is used to sitting with babies for breakfast at nursery.

What always works here is pain au chocolat for all of us and we all sit down together. Not the most nutritious breakfast in the world but works for us and then she has normal breakfast the next day. Sometimes scrambled eggs on toast works too!
