Breakfast for BLW? (sorry probably been done to death)

[SwivelHips]

Finally DS is 6 months and the big weekend is nearly upon us. I have my highchair (well most of it), tidy diner, floor mat and some bibs.
Happened to sideways glance at the prepared baby foods today and now I'm confused.
I'm happy to give DS whatever I have for lunch and dinner but at breakfast I have branflakes then 2 slice of burgen bread laden with lovely jam.
So I'm thinking porridge, weetabix or readybrek? Then sometimes toast fingers with banana or avacado.
For the porridge etc presumably i would use either formula or BM and not cow's milk?
Should I buy baby versions of the above porridge, weetabix etc or will the adult versions suffice? (we don't stock these anyway so dont have them in to try)
For toast does it matter what type of bread ie will burgen bread or wholemeal be okay?
I feel quite stupid asking this but hey ho that's motherhood :)

Hello, I am also about to start BLW and have been asking friends the same thing. Your breakfast ideas sound good. The main thing to look out for is hidden salt, I think weetabix has very little added to it so probably fine, but worth checking the label. It is ok for them to eat some cows milk, so long as it does not replace breast milk or formula. You could also make your porridge with water or half water half milk if you prefer. Thick porridge probably easier for your LO to pick up than ready brek.

Good luck!

you don't have to start off at full pelt with 3 meals a day, you could skip breakfast?? I didn't routinely give dd breakfast until she was around 10 months and then it was crumpets, bananas, omelette, scrambled eggs, mini shredded wheats soaked in milk, oatibix bites and a Cheerios type cereal made with quinoa (don't know if you can get that in the UK though)

Porridge is fine for breakfast with cows milk. No need to use formula or ebm.

I would think about scrambled egg, or fruit and yoghurt mix or something a little easier to eat than breakfast cereals though, no need for them (carbs are least important nutrient at 6mo anyway)

Wholemeal bread (or the burgen) is not recommended for babies - or even older. The problem is that it's high in fibre, and fibre fills the small stomach preventing other food, and reduces the uptake of nutrients. There's fibre in fruit and veg too of course, but less in proportion to the useful.

Breakfast is probably the meal that he's most aware of what I'm eating, he devours it with his eyes, agree I'm trying to be chilled about whether he eats with us or not. I don't do chilled very well alas.
I'll scrub bread off the agenda for now and focus on the other suggestions.
Is our life going to be eat, bath, sleep, eat, bath and sleep ie will he need a bath after every meal? Or do I just chill and wipe the yogurt off his head?
Mind boggled

No! don't bathe him after every meal! Wipe the yogurt off his head if you feel like, but don't bathe the poor kid that often!

Well we're both usually covered in baby sick so food stains won't make much of a difference I suppose. Cannot imagine how its going to go
