Breakfast ideas

Hi,
Needing some ideas of what i could give my 11 month old for breakfast please. He likes porridge with fruit and i was giving him weetabix but i find that goes through him, i just don't want him getting bored of having the same thing all the time. He doesn't do finger foods, even with loads of trying he doesn't seem interested. I've tried him with toast, pancakes he's not interested and also with scrambled eggs and the no salt/sugar beans he wasn't keen. Any ideas would be fantastic. Thank you

Could you do porridge every day but mix up the fruit/toppings that goes into it?
Banana one day, berries another, fruit puree (there's a massive choice of flavours) you could also stir in some nut butter or a little tahini to give even more variety.

Remember that breakfast doesn't have to be 'breakfast food', as long as it's healthy and he likes it it's fine. If he loves spaghetti Bolognese and you have some leftover from dinner, have it for breakfast.

Other ideas:

Shreddies
Omelette
Sausages
Avocado
Very thin cut slices of apple with peanut butter
Cheese and fruit

Also, do keep presenting the foods he's previously refused as well as finger food at every meal. It can take many presentations of something before they eat it, don't remove from his diet anything he's refused a few times. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Thank you for the idea, never thought of using left overs for breakfast. I did try him again with some toast and he did have a go. Will try him tomorrow with a little omelette see how he gets on with that xx
