Breakfast ideas for baby

Looking for breakfast ideas for baby.
He has had a slight reaction to egg so anything egg related is off the menu for now. But just looking for other ideas that people have so I can mix it up a bit Smile

Greek yoghurt with fruit and maybe some granola. Always goes down well with my 18 months old.

Weetabix with warm milk and mashed banana.
Sugar-free peanut butter on toast.
Ready brek (sp?) with fruit pieces or puree.

Depends what stage of weaning you are at but some non egg ones mine liked were

Any cereal with warm milk - Weetabix, bran flakes, Cheerios, raisin/blueberry wheats

Yogurt and pureed or chopped prunes

Porridge with a swirl of fruit puree

Banana on toast with a sprinkle of cinnamon

Crumpets with melted cheese on top

The What Mummy Makes book has a great recipe for baked oatmeal in the microwave. It's basically equal amounts of (old fashioned) porridge oats and milk mixed and then put in microwave until it is firm. You wait for it to cool a bit then cut into fingers.

Blueberry pancakes also go down well with my baby

Porridge, with milk/yoghurt/Berries
Kippers
Toast : butter/nut butter/avocado/beans etc
Pancakes: make egg free ones
Fruit
Yoghurt

I just read a news article reporting children demonstrated reduced allergic reactions when given eggs and nuts in small quantities frequently between 6 & 12 months. Of course I can't find it now to link.

I'm sure you've had medical advice but if you haven't please do so.

As for breaky, Greek yoghurt and mashed berries was always a winner.
Cheese on toast cut into fingers also popular.

Thank you for all of your ideas! That gives me a few more to try Grin

We did/ still do -

Porridge - with some combination of banana, berries, grated apple, grated carrot and courgette, milled seeds, ground almonds, nut butter, dessicated coconut, cinammon or nutmeg, sultanas, stewed fruit - obviously only a couple of those at a time Grin

Porridge muffins - take leftovers of whatever version of porridge I’ve made, add extra oats to thicken mixture, spoon into silicone muffin case and bake for about 30 mins - these freeze great so I do a few whenever I make a big batch of porridge and then keep them in the freezer, 30 seconds in the microwave and they’re ready to serve again

Pancakes - either the baby banana 3 ingredient ones or American style but with no sugar - we use egg in both but there’s loads of recipes out there for egg free versions, look up SR nutrition she has some options or the what mummy makes books do

Toast with avocado, nut butter, cream cheese and raspberries, mashed banana, pumpkin seed butter is also good. Now my dd is older I sometimes do marmite but it’s salty so not very often. Also I’ve made ‘jam’ by boiling soft fruits with chia seeds before which again there’s different recipes online and doesn’t take much time. Sometimes hummus on toast too though that tends to be a lunch option

Greek yoghurt with whatever - fruit, oats, crumbled up cereal, any of the porridge toppings mentioned above, or chia jam

Other cereals - weetabix, shredded wheat bitesize which has no added salt/ sugar, sometimes the whole grain Cheerios but they’re hard to find round here for some reason

Crumpets with different toppings

Chia pudding - it’s a what mummy makes recipe again, from memory it’s just under a punnet of raspberries mashed with a fork, squeeze of lemon juice, add 3 tablespoons chia seeds and about 100ml of milk (cow or almond/ whatever you use) then mix it up and leave in fridge overnight. Serve with porridge. I like it with honey or maple syrup but my daughter went nuts for it just plain, haven’t done it in ages actually so might try again at the weekend

@AliasGrape Thanks so much for all of your ideas Grin I have screenshot your post so will be getting on with some of these in the coming weeks!

I’ve just realised I said to serve the chia pudding with porridge - I mean you could but yoghurt would be better.

Also go easy on chia seeds when you first introduce them, my dd was always fine but I did read they can be a bit much for some little tummies so start with a small amount the first time.

Lot of chia seeds in my list because I bought a huge bag and still trying to find ways to use it up 😃

I actually find Ds is completely happy with the same breakfast every day, so I generally just give him the same. ( he’s nearly 2)
Literally porridge with pear or apple purée. Followed by a banana.

If dh and I have something like pancakes/ waffles with yogurt and fruit, or boiled eggs and toast on the weekends he sometimes has as well. Or eats usual, plus some of ours! He also has things like Cheerios as snack sometimes
