    Which breakfast cereal for your toddler?

    I have been giving DS (16months) weetbix for breakfast every morning for goodness knows how long. I usually put some fruit or some cinamon on them but the past few days he has been spitting them out. I think it is finally time we changed cereals!
    What do you give your child? And how much? (Weetbix have been so easy! 2 every morning).

    Toby loves Weetbix too! Other than the "baby" cereals, thats pretty much as far as we've gone. He's had rice bubbles a few times too!

    DD1 goes between weetbix, sultana bran and her favourite, Porridge. Sometimes she even combines them!!

    Big porridge fans here, we put bananas, strawberries and sometimes honey on it.

    Porridge here too and rice bubbles. Now DD eats muesli as she HAS to have what mummy has - as she has a peanut allergy I found that Arnold's Farm is one of the only ones that is made in a plant that doesn't produce anything with tree nuts.

    porridge, sultana bran, special K advantage, sustain (but she is a bit older than your DS), vitabrits, sometimes with chopped up peaches/banana/strawberries, rice bubbles, corn flakes.

    We do weetbix, with a little bit on honey on them.
    To me, it seems boring to have the same thing over and over, but he seems to still enjoy them, so I'm not going to change what working lol.

    Muesli mixed with Jalna vanilla yogurt is the go in our house. Won't touch muesli with milk though, so suspect it's the yogurt that he's really after. Tragically, he hates weetbix, I would have liked that as an option, cos it's cheaper that the current combo. The things we do for our kids..

    Claire likes Weetbix. We put some honey on them and she chows them down like no ones business. She also likes porridge/oats.

    VitaBrits or Cornflakes in our house. On weekends he scams some Nutrigrain (I know it's crazy-high in sugar) from DH though.

    It used to be Oat-brits. I find them tastier than weetbix and oats are so good for you. Usually with a little honey or a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar (I know, you're not supposed to, don't crucify me).
    Now, she sometimes has Cheerios. They are sweetened, but they don't have as much sugar as some of the others.
    Porridge on a cool morning. With apple pieces and sultanas. I add them when cooking, so they get soft and juicy - mmmmm.
    Or semolina cooked with milk and a little drizzling of honey.

    But to be honest, most mornings it's a slice or two of wholemeal bread with either vegemite or honey.
