I am running out of ideas on what to try my two 2 year olds on for breakfast. They have given up drinking milk at breakfast too. Any ideas?? One comes looking for food shortly after leaving the table.

Thank you

Cereal, fruit, toast, yogurt, eggs, potato, pancakes, bacon, sausages, tomato.

If mine do a runner after what they're given I generally have a container of fresh fruit made up, if that doesn't work then she has to wait until smoko which is fruit..

Sounds very familiar Sue-Leigh! My 2 have never been into breakfast and I have yet to find one cereal they will eat - I've even tried Fruit Loops in desperation!

They will sometimes eat toast with vegemite or some yoghurt, but the only thing I can reliably get them to eat is scrambled eggs on toast. One of them will also eat baked beans on toast - but then she would eat that for breakfast, lunch, tea and in between if I let her!

I'm happy with them eating scrambled eggs every day if they want - I'm getting very good at making them very quickly I just hope they don't get bored of them too soon because I can't think of anything else to try!

Good luck.

My girls still love their milky weetbix (very messy now that they are feeding themselves) and toast with promite, followed by milk and sometimes fruit, if they still seem hungry.

Eggy toast (french toast) is a good one if you have time, I find this a good lunch time thing when I have more time, but scambled eggs in the microwave are great too. My "lazy" DH sometimes just gives them dry cereal like Nutri Grain or Honey O's so they can just pick it up themselves along with a big cup of milk to swig on. Even my 6 yo loves doing this!

Fruit with yoghurt is always popular in our house too, even just the tinned fruit varieties are OK as long as you get the ones with natural juice not syrup. I even love that myself, peaches with weetbix and yoghurt is one of my fave brekkies!

Sometimes putting sultanas in the plainer cereals makes them a bit more interesting if you are concerned about too much sugar. My motto is always everything in moderation, so a little sugar now and then is OK.
