How many weet-bix does your toddler do?

**Snowy Love** · November 26th, 2008, 11:26 AM

Following on from mrscricket's thread, I've been wondering this for ages. I give DS two & a half weet-bix for breakfast or two slices of multigrain toast, plus fruit (today mango - insert Homer Simpson drool) and that seems like a lot to me, but if I give him any less he wants more food.

So how much does your toddler eat for breakfast?

DD was having two but is back down to one with some cheerios and sultanas

DD1 usually does 2 with a slice of toast, but she did go through a phase of having three. I had the same problem, if I gave her less she would just get hurngry really early. I just figured that's what she needed and I don't mind filling her up on goo things like cereal and fruit.

DD is 15 months and usually has 1.5 - 2 Weetbix but that's after a 240ml bottle of milk. That seems quite a lot to me but she's only just hit 10kg (and she's tall) so I'm constantly wondering if she's getting enough food.

DD used to do 2 weetbix and a hlaf banana when she was 8-12 months.
Now we have a mixture in a prepared container or cornflakes/weetbix and sultanas mixed up.
we pour some into a bowl for her

My son used to regularly have 4, sometimes asking for more after that... he eats so much that i'm worried how to afford the food bill when he is a teenager

He has gone off weetbix a bit, now he likes poridge or muesli (homemade),occassionaly rice bubbles but they don't fill him up enough... DH says it's my fault for offering him a choice, he just makes weetbix and puts it in front of him and he eats them.

My DD eats 1.5 at the moment.

Whenever Nina eats weet-bix, it's generally 3, followed by a piece of toast, a tub of yoghurt and a packet of chips if she gets her own way.

OMG your children are machines!!!! I can only wish DD would eat that much, I'm lucky if she eats 1, it's usually only 3/4 - half. And nothing else til morning tea, about 2 1/2- 3hrs later.

Jake (he's just turned 2) usually does 2-3 weetbix and 2 pieces of toast, sometimes some fruit and a sippy cup of milk.

OK, so two and a half is reasonable then...

Thanks ladies.

My DD isn't a toddler yet, she's almost 9 months old, but she does half a weetbix every morning followed by about 150ml formula. She loves weetbix!

My Sophie who is 10months old does 2 weetbix and has done so since about 8months, if i offer less she wants more but she seems satisfied with 2 with a bit of pureed fruit mixed in with it. She doesnt have a morning bottle anymore just extra water.

One - on a hungry day! Usually 3/4, plus the top 1mm of half a piece of toast where the Vegemite and butter are...

My son eats like a sparrow.. but he has 2 weetbix's with fruit puree for breakfast.. he's 2.

Claire has 1.5 to 2 weetbix for breakfast each day. Thats at about 7:15 am. Once all the kids arrive at daycare at about 8:30-9:00 she has a peice of toast.
