I need some ideas for breakfast. I usually make my 14 mth old daughter an egg in the morning…either boiled,scrambled,desi style omelette,cheese omelette.She likes them most of the days.
Eggs with honey,pancakes and french toast have never been liked.
Some days she eats some cheerios cereal with milk,otherwise nothing spoonable is liked like a porridge or oatmeal.
There was a time when parathas were a hit but not any more.She will eat the plain roti sometimes.
Sometimes I give her some fruit (apples/pear/banana) for breakfast too.
Are there any other options…??..It just has to be something she can either pick with her fingers or a fork and feed herself (because this is what she likes).
Dinner and lunch is not hard ..she eats whatever we are having… roti or rice or pasta with whatever salan is cooked that day.I need breakfast ideas.
P.S..I am posting it here because I believe more mommies (or fathers) visit this forum than HA&CC.
I think I have read about this glop thing before.Did you happen to mention it somewhre?
Since I usually have cereal for breakfast so I think she likes having the same too.OTherwise she stopped eating with a spoon months ago.
My daughter was never a fan of toast/bread initially. We used to get wholewheat bread. One day we tried "wonder smart" bread (white bread with the goodness of wholewheat), and she started eating toast regularly. Not sure what kind you've tried..but maybe try changing the type you get. Also try toasting in various settings, warming it up on the frying pan with some butter (like you would for grilled toast), or without toasting. Maybe she'll take to one of the methods.
Also, try cutting up bread/toast into strips or get creative with shapes. That might attract her toward it. Izz inititally started having plain buttered toast cut into strips. Now she has anything from peanut butter, nutella, to various jams. Same thing with french toast, cut it into various shapes or strips.
Pancakes/waffles: keep offering once in a while for her to develop a taste for it. I always keep waffles in my freezer for days when she wants nothing else. Easy breakfast to serve with syrup and fresh fruit, which she loves.
Froot Loops and Cheerios in milk -- or sometimes just dry.
I usually get Heinz cereal bars, fruit cups, and fruit yogurt on a regular basis to give her as a snack. On days when she's not interested in eating anything, a cereal bar and a fruit yogurt is an easy filling meal.
