Won’t eat brekkie

[bluepixie]

Any tips please!

13 month old has 3 oz of milk in beaker alongside my attempt of breakfast. He gobbles up 3/4 spoons ( equiv of less than 1/4 weetabix) then stops. And then refuses.
So then I tried yoghurt, porridge, ready break and same happened.
So then I tried milk at 7 (again only takes 3oz from bottle) and then brekkie at 830 and the same?

He doesn’t drink milk overnight.
Anything else I could try! Until 2 weeks ago he would have a full bowl of cereal and his milk and then a snack 2 hours later pre nap. Now I’m feeding him in cereal in 2 sittings and struggling to get 1/2 a weetabix or an ok amount of porridge or yoghurt in.

Shall I just forget trying to give him something with iron and the extra milk and try something like toast instead ?

To add he’s an ok eater rest of day not great! But fine

Sorry mean 3oz from beaker! He used to take 5 from bottle

Mine did this with weetabix/cereal too. She will eat jam on toast, cheese on toast, choc chip brioche bread or boiled egg and toast soldiers. Some people don't like sloppy stuff at breakfast and your lo is asserting some likes and dislikes.

I know some of that list isn't so healthy but it is better than nothing.

Also, 13 months means he is going to get a snack before lunch so he won't starve if it fails.

Ok I’ll give toast a go tmrw! He loves peanut butter so could try that with some fruit tmrw!

Weird coz he loves yoghurt the rest of the day! Although I must say I had most luck with yoghurt this week and he had a good amount in 2 sittings!
I usually just do lunch at 11 coz he’s obv hungry by then!

Agree with Strip. Breakfast doesn’t need to be traditional UK breakfast food. Try him with cheese cucumber bread sticks or fruit and whole meal toast. No one in my family have ever eaten cereal and prefer a continental style even from being babies.

He's 13 months so I'd be giving toast or something he can feed himself. He might eat more that way. None of mine would be spoon fed at that age.

He always been spoonfeed and finger fed from start and it’s the same rest of the day so don’t think it’s that. As he’s fine with spoon rest of time
But maybe he wants to be more idenpendant at brekkie! I’ll try toast tmrw

So just tried bread and peanut butter and bannaa and offered him both so had a choice and he just squashed it all up and spat it out. He’s had 3oz milk and 5 spoons of ready Brek all am. Maybe he’s just not hungry?!

Just leave him. If he doesn’t want to eat it, it doesn’t matter. Offer him a snack/meal at his usual time. I doubt he’s in imminent danger of starvation.

If he realises that refusing food stresses you out/gets him attention, or that you’ll go and get other things for him to try if he doesn’t fancy what’s been offered, mealtimes will become an absolute battleground. Just chill out, give him some food, if he eats, great, if not, that’s fine.

I would drop the milk in the morning. My dd stopped eating breakfast around this age too. We stopped offering her milk and she got interested again. You could always offer more milk later as a snack if you think he needs the extra dairy.

Thanks for ur tips
Today I did milk at 7 and brekkie at 830 of weetabix and a bannaa pancake and it went down fine. I mean he stopped after 1/2 a weetabix but then was very happy with the pancake so think I’ll keeo trying to do a break between milk and main brekkie or as suggested just stop milk
