Honestly bread is not the worst possible thing you can give your child to eat. Mcdonalds is hot doesn't mean its good for them. Salads and cold meats are just as nutritious as a hot meal.

Re salt in bread, if you're really worried make your own In fact I just checked my bought loaf and there's 2gms of salt per loaf thats less than a tsp of salt per loaf, I'm not really worried.

Variety is good for some kids but some kids don't like variety. We have everything from sandwiches, dinner leftovers, baked beans, spaghetti, nachos, salad, eggs and on occasion 2 minute noodles. In sandwiches it can be PB, salad, egg, cheese, ham, chicken, avocado etc It just depends. I don't get too anal I try to balance every meal. I had dreams of making hot breakfasts for my kids when they started school... it hasn't happened yet. Maybe when Seth's old enough to dress himself
