good morning

my daughter is 14 1/2 months old, and im having a real problem feeding her breakfast. when she was younger she had baby breakfast food and some toast, she loves toast! however now shes got older she stopped eating baby breakfast as she wouldnt let me feed her anymore. i need something she can eat herself, and feed herself, at best no spoon. she now just has her milk, about 8oz and just toast. im wanting her to eat something better than this!
What do your kids eat at about her age? im open to any ideas!!
Thankies, Lucy

I have a very independent 13 month old who feeds herself so I try dry cereal, cut up fruit, cut up pancakes, you could also try grated cheese or scrambled eggs.

thanks for the reply. She does like cheese, but is that really a breakfast thing? i havent tryed her with pancakes, will have to give that a go. shes not keep on "good" dry cereal, but like sugery not as good ones!

My dd will be 20 months old and really likes bananas and nutrigrain bars! Maybe try cutting these up for your daughter and give it a go. Scrambled eggs and silver dollar pancakes are a favorite as well. We don't do a lot of "mixing it up" because frankly, I just don't have the time. What she gets is what she gets! If she's hungry, then she'll eat!

I feed my 13 month old the gerber cereal bars and he loves them, we also fix him pancakes, dry cereal, mini waffles, oatmeal and toast. I try to change it up everyday and offer something different, breakfast seems to be his favorite meal of the day. Hope this helps ya, I guess you just have to try different things until you find something they like.
