BLW - Breakfast Ideas

[Quootiepie]

Hiya,
Im abit stuck for BLW breakfast ideas, all I seem to have come up with/found is Hubs porridge pancakes, toast, and apparently dry cereal (not weetabix!). What else can I give for breakfast? DS can sort of manage a spoon if I load it up... but only really with something sticky!

Thanks x

Fruit like raspberries are a winner here, so easy to pick up.
Mini shreddie's soaked in milk - a bit messy though

fruit? sorry dont understand this blw thing!!
I only have 5 children so obviously dont know a thing!!!
Yoghurt.
I dont +understand why wearent supposed to feed them!

Mini shreddies - good idea No doubt they will end up all overr the wall.

Fruit...thought maybe it was abit snacky for breakfast... maybe fruit and toast?

Thanks x

I don't give fruit on it's own!!!!

Always used to give ds porridge or weetabix with pureed fruit when he was younger, but on the days when I'm busy and want him to feed himself (little monkey 'chooses' when he wants to use a spoon) then I give him something he can eat as fingerfood.

So if I give him mini shreddies he also gets fruit separatly as it's not mixed in iyswim.

Banana, strawberry, cubes of melon, mango, papaya etc.

Very healthy but you do need some sort of cereal or bread too!

Once tried cheerios before I'd read the ingrediants. He loved them and refused all other food.

Never bought them again!

it was once said the sugar content in cereal was vital to set them up for the day!!
Wonder what new ideas thewre will be in a few months time.
A bowl of readybrek fed by mum ..whats the harm?

Depends on age of ds and your views on egg allergies, but scrambled egg (either made on the runny side and smeared on toast, or made on the firm side to be cut into lumps), or eggy bread are worth a go.
American-type breakfast pancakes?
Different types of toasted things? (pitta, bagel, white, brown, granary, English muffin etc)

What is baby led weaning? I haven't heard of it before?

no one has allergies as far as I know throughout the family... so I think DS will be ok with eggy things...

QP if he can manage a spoon with something sticky then try making normal porridge for yourself and give him some. I've been doing this recently and adding lots of stewed apple to sweeten it and cool it down for her.

I'd also second making normal pancakes. I did some and put blueberries in them and dd loved them.

ok, thanks

How old is your LO Quootie.

We went for fruit pieces, rice cakes & quinoa porridge in the early months (we avoided known allergens like wheat & dairy unitl after 12 months). DS was like yours & could manage to spoon feed only if we loaded it for him & it was sticky enough to stay on as he held the spoon vertically . Although tbh he didnt have breakfast very much until he was well passed 10 months as he wasnt hungry at all after his morning bf.

If you arent avoiding wheat then Bio Biz - which is essentially the same as weetabix but with no sugar & less salt added (buy from waitrose or health food shop) mushed up with a little milk or water works fine - just leave it for a few minutes to soak up the liquid & it goes quite solid. Normal porridge made with oats is great as well as you can make it as sticky as your like to suit little uns interesting spoon technique!

nearly 8 months...

I spoon feed my 10 month old half a weatabix and then she feeds herself toast and fruit.

How about:

avocado and banana slices

eggy bread

TBH I don't think you need to go too mad and offer a massive variety at breakfast.

give her a moothie wiht a straw and some spaghetti

a rf

ok Cod, written that one down too... do I put the spaghetti in the smoothie?

I thought that TeeCee... I have the same everyday, I just think somehow im limiting DSs diet if I do the same for him lol Silly really! I have about 7 or 8 ideas now to work with, thanks

Listen babes I get obsessive with Lotties lunch box. I vary it so much and feel so bad when she has the same thing twice in a week! It's madness but I can't help it! Whereas the majority of us all know wjhat we like and are happy to stick to it aren't we, why do we think our kids are any different? I'm getting less obsessed these days but I do make a MASSIVE effort with her luchboxes and both of their food in general. I'ma real foodie!

hi quootie,
once again i am the laziest parent here... if dd doesn't have porridge pancakes and fruit she is quite often to be found with a philly sandwich or whatever leftovers i can find from the previous night. she does enjoy warmed-through potatoes.

HAHA! ok... warmed up potatoes

I give Shreddies or cornflakes or special K.
fingers of toast sometimes spread with pureed dried arpicots as a "jam"
fruit - peach, plum, pear, banana, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, whatever...
grated apple.
bits of ham, cheese or cold chicken.
not egg yet tbh, I tried to wait a bit longer then eight months.
