Sometimes T will ask for non breakfast items for breakfast. Like, pizza, chicken nuggets, leftover pasta, or even thanksgiving leftovers! I used to say no, but now I figure who the heck cares? So this morning he had chicken nuggets and tater tots for breakfast

Cheese is a regular morning stAple. It doesn't matter to me as long as she eats and it's relatively healthy.
-
Hahaha cute! I know my mom always gave in a and gave me pb and j for breakfast...lol
-
Haha we usually do it the other way around! Sometimes we do pancakes for dinner...
-
Well, I eat this way, I'll have a piece of salmon for breakfast, so if my son asked, sure.
-
Yes, LO is sensitive to eggs so we're very flexible on what constitutes a breakfast food.
-
She has had pizza before when she sees DH have a piece!
-
My DS will sometimes have non breakfast items for breakfast. It's just not a battle I want to have that early in the morning! If he requests to eat something specific, I'm generally not going to deny him, unless he's asking for something like candy.
-
Same as @mrbee: she is more likely to ask for breakfast food for another meal, and as long as she hasn't had that food already, whatever. I agree though, as long as it's healthy enough, I don't care if it's the right "time" to eat it. Btw tater tots are pretty much the same as hash browns anyway.
@FaithFertility: I've eaten pb and j for breakfast since college.
-
Definitely. DH loves giving LO miso soup for breakfast and I'm a big fan of leftovers.
-
He hasn't asked except for things like chocolate or pretzels or something and I've said no. I pack his breakfast for school so he doesn't get much choice. It is usually yogurt, fruit and a carb (toast, mini bagel, muffin etc).
-
She can have whatever she wants apart from candy or Goldfish crackers, which is what she wanted this morning. I figure breakfast items are different all around the world, as long as it is proper food, I'm good.
-
My boys can have anything they ask for breakfast as long as it is real food. If it means they will eat I will do whatever I need. (Momma of boys with feeding trouble)
-
Of course! Why wouldn't you?
-
@Greentea: Because sometimes it's a pain in the butt to make!? Like he wanted frozen pizza one morning and it just takes longer than whipping up some eggs. But if I have the time, I don't care anymore : )
-
I let my kid eat anything not junky she wants for breakfast. Sometimes that means salami and cucumbers and olives, which is usually a popular lunch. Once it was tacos, which was easy. But usually just toast and fruit.
-
Mostly no, but she had been sick w/ a low appetite, so hummus and crackers did the trick for breakfast today and that's just fine with me.
-
She usually requests typical breakfast foods, but if she asked for something else, I'd go with it as long as it was easy (leftovers or something quick to make).
-
@winniebee: Tator tots are like hashbrowns, so still breakfast-y enough!
-
Don't see why not. I never eat breakfast food for breakfast. Dinner yes, but not breakfast. It seems pretty arbitrary.
-
DH gives him popcorn sometimes
I wasn't a huge breakfast food person growing up so I think I'm a little bit more forgiving. I loved leftover pizza -
cheese is normal for breakfast, but DH thinks "weird" things are not okay for breakfast. haha I usually give in and let her eat what she wants as long as it is healthy.
And we actually have "brinner" (breakfast for dinner) at least once a month...and it is tonight. It's my favorite meal! I'm making a breakfast casserole with eggs, sausage, cheese, and hashbrowns. a side of fruit and whole wheat toast if anyone wants it.
-
I like non breakfast foods in the morning so I would be ok with it.
-
Yes, I will gladly serve non breakfast items as the first meal. DD has had fried ice, pho, pizza, chicken nuggets, spaghetti and leftovers for breakfast. I am just happy to see her eat.
