What do you give your children for breakfast?

DS1 (18mths) will usually eat a waffle or some cheese on toast or some yoghurt with a little honey and sliced banana or pancakes if DH is around. I wanted to give him some cereal instead as a change but was shocked to read that almost every cereal i chose online for tomorrow's delivery had glucose-fructose syrup in - chose Tesco's own rice krispies in the end i think.

Also to find that it's also in petit filous. Do you think the amounts are too small to cause much harm? What do you give your children for breakfast? Some new healthy ideas would be great.
Thanks.

porridge ...
Or an Aussie version of Weetabix called VitaBrits ... the only cereal I can find with no sugar that doesn't taste of cardboard.

Mine have two standard breakfasts. Porridge with raisins, or toast with home-made jam.

Except at Christmas, when they have croissants with apricot jam/chocolate spread, and birthdays, when they have something revoltingly unsuitable devised by me and dh as a surprise to get them all nicely revved up for present-opening

Oatcakes with fruit spread (like jam but no sugar - look in health food shops)or honey.
Raisin pancakes.
Porridge with honey and raisins.
Organic cornflakes.
Do avoid the glucose-fructose and other silly ingredients if you can. Organic products generally have much better ingredients.

Home made jam ...ohhhhhh!

I sometimes give mine wholemeal bread toasted & spread with fruit spread.

Other days they will have bowls of fruit topped with yoghurt.

On school morning dd will have weetabix with banana or porridge with banana.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 04/06/2007 23:52

Weetabix, yogurt and class of milk.

DS who has CF has trashy, sugary cereal and it good for him, so there!

kamikayzed ...
I do my porridge in the microwave ... only in a pan if I am making if for the whole family.
Uncle Toby's do microwave quick porridge sachets ... easy as pie - honestly ...

Isn't glucose-fructose just sugar?

BishyBarneyBee · 04/06/2007 23:55

sherddies, weetabix, rice krispies, cheerios or porridge.

Buy one at a time and when it goes I buy another so they have to eat all the weetabix before it changes.

BreeVanDerCamp · 04/06/2007 23:56

Rice Krsipies

Weetabix

Shreddies

Wholemeal toast with sugar free jam.

Yoghurt

If he is still hungry a piece of fruit.

He has been known to relieve me of my ryvita as I am about to walk out the door to work.

BreeVanDerCamp · 04/06/2007 23:56

BBB

Cheerios are made by Nestlé

TooTicky · 04/06/2007 23:57

Shreddies are also Nestle, are they not?

kittylette · 04/06/2007 23:57

Toast

or rice krispies

or weetabix

or readybrek

or toasted fruitloaf with sliced banana on top

plus a piece of fruit and a cup of juice

BishyBarneyBee · 04/06/2007 23:58

oh no shit - not cheerios but fake cheerios made by tesco.

I am so forgetful and don't pay attention to what goes in my trolley if it is on special offer but NEVER NEVER NESTLE not ever.

BishyBarneyBee · 04/06/2007 23:58

ditto shreddies - 'malties' I think they are called the fake ones.

OMG I hope not..................

LGJ stops hyper ventilating........................................................

BishyBarneyBee · 05/06/2007 00:02

then you have to stop someoen else buyin nestle to restore the balance - a bit like karma.

Make a school or preschool go fairtrade - did that with mine and that is about 40 jars of coffee a year.

Up yours nestle.

BreeVanDerCamp · 05/06/2007 00:05

Our diocese of Arundel and Brighton is Fair Trade. All the parish halls are FT.

It took some doing, but we managed it.

PregnantGrrrl · 05/06/2007 00:07

DS is almost 12mths. He has toast / oatibix with whole milk (loves it) Sometimes banana.

ghosty · 05/06/2007 00:11

ROFL at lgj and bbb's faux poos ...

Tortington · 05/06/2007 00:13

cornflakes or toast - or both
