When I was a nanny, one of the families I worked for insisted that their kids have a hot breakfast almost every morning...so if they had cereal and milk one morning, the other days had to be a 'hot breakfast'. My girls get really simple breakfasts, pancakes/waffles from the freezer, cereal, bagels, toast...I suppose those things are all 'hot' but not things like eggs, sausage, bacon, omelettes etc.
How often does your LO get a hot breakfast? Basically something you have to take the time to cook, like eggs.
