If he gets sick of one I switch to another the next morning.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1680080 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 08:09:38 +0000 LemonLong 1680080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO leaves for daycare by 6 am each morning, so she gets a glass of whole milk and cereal (she's on a frosted mini wheats kick right now). She has a second breakfast at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1680018 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 07:50:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1680018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Bob's Red mill! Most grocery stores carry it but I get it from Amazon s&amp;s. I usually cook 1.25 cup oats to about 2-3 cups liquid. I use a mixture of water and milk. Just keep stirring with a whisk on low. Takes about 15? I add more liquid as needed. LO likes hers with berries and craisins. I've also taken to adding a tablespoon of peanut butter for extra protein. Or sometimes I stir in plain Greek yogurt after I dish it out.</p> <p>This makes enough for DH, LO and I. But DH isn't a huge oatmeal fan so he only half a bowl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679778 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:21:34 +0000 Boogs 1679778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cereal, waffles, pancakes, eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and fruit is always a winner at any meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679755 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 00:46:39 +0000 Sophs Mama 1679755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nutella toast is a new favourite around here. She also loves scrambled eggs, yogurt, cheerios, oatmeal and most kinds of fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679703 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 23:15:26 +0000 coopsmama 1679703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty boring around here. He eats baked soaked oatmeal, soaked whole grain blueberry waffles, fruit, a scrambled egg nearly every day, and the occasional whole grain muffin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679685 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 22:54:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1679685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs, veggies, and some sort of meat. Nearly every day!<br /> If we are in a rush she will have frozen mango and a frozen waffle with peanut butter on it. She loves frozen mango! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679657 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 22:36:01 +0000 sunny 1679657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: is there a specific brand you use? How do you cook them? I have never made oatmeal other than instant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1679588 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:54:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1679588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I only cook steel cut oats. They take way too long for weekday mornings but I discovered "quick" steel cut oats and they cook in half the time and even quicker if you pre-soak overnight! Never bought baby oatmeal for LO. I use to grind steel cut oats into a powder in a coffee grinder when she was a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678561 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:12:44 +0000 edelweiss 1678561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lately it's been blueberry pancake (comes frozen, this mama does not make pancakes from scratch on a weekday...or the weekends for that matter) and some low-acid fruit, like banana or mango. can't do high acid fruit because we think it causes him to throw up in the car on the way to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678557 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:11:00 +0000 rattles 1678557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She usually has a fruit and yogurt parfait with greek yogurt, fresh fruit and cheerios on top for weekday breakfasts. She also likes oatmeal with dried cranberries, eggs and buttered toast. On weekends, we do bigger breakfasts as a family - banana or blueberry pancakes, french toast, eggs and bacon, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678549 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:04:38 +0000 mrsjyw 1678549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he always has milk and a yogurt or yogurt smoothie. he also has eggs, toast or waffle, and berries and sometimes bfast sausage like morningstar patties </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678428 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:27:20 +0000 Beehive 1678428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Just regular oatmeal. We make a big batch and freeze cubes of it, then defrost a couple cubes in the microwave for breakfast. Quick and easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678359 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:12:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 1678359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>waffles or pancake topped with peanut butter, eggs, omelets, toast, Greek yogurt, applesauce, fruit, quiche, breakfast bars, weekends we will do sausage/bacon too, she loves breakfast time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678276 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:49:49 +0000 Sammyfab 1678276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week he has granola and Greek yogurt. On weekends we have banana/almond butter/egg pancakes and bacon. Often there's an extra side of fruit or a smoothie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1678234 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:36:34 +0000 QBbride 1678234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit and toast with hummus on top... he loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677720 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:17:50 +0000 chopsuey 1677720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>scrambled eggs, a carb, milk and fruit. </p> <p>today she had yogurt + granola, cheesy scrambled eggs, blackberries, a pancake and milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677707 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:14:46 +0000 sandy 1677707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: she eats regular oatmeal. Maybe try making the eggs different ways and see how she does. C loves the steamed egg recipe that Mrs. Bee posted. I think she likes eating it off of a soon and she calls it egg soup </p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/03/steamed-egg/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/04/03/steamed-egg/</a></p> <p>And lately she will only eat egg whites if I fry an egg...but at least the whites have protein. I've tried making a flat omelet and putting cheese and rolling up to make pinwheels but she does not like them like I thought she would. Or maybe try hard boiled like others have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677673 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:08:55 +0000 sunny 1677673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the great ideas. I wish LO would eat eggs but she just isn't into it. I love eggs and make scrambled eggs with cheese for myself but she always refuses to eat it! DH suggested that the texture is the problem so I was going to try cooking them a bit longer this weekend.</p> <p>For those who do oatmeal, are you buying baby oatmeal or regular? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677418 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:14:58 +0000 yin 1677418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steel cut oats with flax meal, breakfast sausage, and fruit. It's been his staple for the past 2 years, and he hasn't gotten tired of it yet. Occasionally on weekends I'll make special banana and oats pancakes for him. I've also tried to give him avocado with some success but mostly failure. Eggs would be on the menu if he didn't have an allergy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677410 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:12:46 +0000 IcebergMom 1677410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of the above and my toddler (2 3/4) loves hot cereals! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677404 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:11:25 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1677404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some sort of fruit (banana, watermelon, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe) with either yogurt or steel-cut oatmeal and a slice of cinnamon raisin or blueberry bread. </p> <p>They always eat it and it's easy to prepare so that's what we stick with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677373 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:07:29 +0000 Smurfette 1677373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scarmbled egg and turkey sausage; waffle/pancake/french toast and sauage or fruit; yogurt and fruit, Nutri Grain Bar and fruit; Cheerios (dry) and fruit; mini bagel with fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677360 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 09:02:52 +0000 Beehive 1677360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do oatmeal with milk and bits of fruit mixed in (steamed apple chunks that we freeze or fresh fruit), wheat toast with peanut, almond or cashew butter and fresh fruit, or hard boiled egg / scrambled egg with fruit and toast.</p> <p>I need to start making and freezing little whole wheat pancakes, I think he would love that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677325 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:55:56 +0000 heartonastring 1677325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually an egg, some avocado and some berries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-breakfast#post-1677244 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:36:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1677244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our staples for work mornings are banana nut muffins, banana oat pancakes, waffles, pancakes, French Toast, steel cut oats, scrambled eggs, mini crustless quiche, cereal, greek yogurt w granola, bagel/English muffins w peanut butter. </p> <p>I usually make big batches on the weekends and freeze leftovers.
