What cereals etc do you feed your dc? (looking for inspiration for my toddler)

[ChatterNatterChatter]

DD has either porridge or shreddies but I feel she is becoming bored by them.

What other healthy options do you feed your children?

Weetabix, puffed wheat, cornflakes, and sometimes those apricot wheat things (like shreddies only not Nestle and with a fruit filling).

Dd1- wheatabix, shreddies, corn flakes, rice crispies.

Dd2's not keen on cereal and i always struggle to find her anything she likes for breakfast.

Fruit and yoghurt?

almost always porridge, that's what they like

QOFE, beware... some own brands are made by nestle (tesco and sainsburys i believe)

DS has Sainsbury's version of Cheerios (I think they call them Multigrain Hoops) a fraction of the price of real Cheerios,

He also likes Sainsbury's version of Rice Krispies

ds likes
crunchy nut cornflakes
weetabix
toast with marmite
cinnamon bagels smothered in butter

he used to love readybrek but he's gone off that recently.

Are rice krispies full of sugar? That's the impression I have but I am not all clued up about any of this.

I try to read the labels but get so confused and I'm not sure how much is too much sugar, salt etc

most cereals are full of sugar

that's why we stick mainly to porridge!
or toast/bagels/croissantss

Weetabix
Mini shredded wheat
Ready Brek
Shreddies

(or to be truthful, Aldi or Asda generic versions of the above!)

If reluctant they get a spoonful of raisins or dusting of sugar.

Are they? Oh no - but surely not Waitrose ones?

no, i think waitrose are ok

check babymilkaction though

DD is really fussy about cereal so mainly eats ours: bran flakes, Special K and museli, yet refuses Cheerios

We use cereal as "garnish" on fresh and dry fruits and yogurt. Adds a bit of crunch and hopefully doesn't do too much harm. Perhaps I shouldn't believe everything I read but I did read something about how these highly processed cereals are not good for you and can't get it out of my mind ...

In any case I buy multigrain hoops, weetabix, bran flakes, shreddies, and sometimes rice crispies (because I like it and it's nice with tinned pears).

We do buy Waitrose ones.

Porridge, toast or a boiled egg here generally.

I mostly eat Suma's own brand 'de luxe' muesli (no sugar or milk powder, can't stand sweetened cereals) which is nice but dd prefers a hot breakfast in winter.

all the crap ones. but we treat them more as puddings/snacks rather than nutritious breakfast items! so here it's weetos, frosted wheats and coco pops. at nursery she has shreddies or porridge.

Porridge, shreddies, cheerios, bran flakes with fruit and sometimes yoghurt.
Not all at once but sometimes a mixture.
Bacony egg at w/e!

Weetabix or cheerios here.

Cheerios - which is probably the only Nestle thing I still buy, but can't find a decent alternative. Honey nut loops are not the same

Also raisin/apricot/blueberry wheats. Tesco even do cranberry and pomegranate ones but am a bit reluctant to try them.

Ooh Tomato thanks for the Sainsbury's tip, will have to try those

DD knows if I try and buy fake cheerios, she refuses to eat them, fussy madam!

DS (2.11) currently enjoys a medley of cereals for breakfast so he has weetabix with a sprinkling of own brand rice krispies and a further sprinkling of own brand shreddies

He also likes muesli, but only from my bowl

Cereal is currently supplemented by a slice of buttered toast and an apple ("Cut-up Mummeeeeee")

Bid odd this - Rice Crispies at the botton, Coco pops on the top, springle of cornflakes and the some Sultanas

Waitrose multigrain hoops nicer than cheerios, a bit less sugary.

weetabix
cheerios as a treat when I am feeling weak
cornflakes
fruit and fibre when they see me eating it
hot oats ( porridge - y ) with cinnamon and sultanas
homemade granola ( do I get a star? )

sometimes at the weekends we have hot cross buns. but don't tell the sugar police.
