My DS who is 3.5 will happily eat 2 weetbix with half a banana, chopped and a small tub of yoghurt on top. He tends to eat heaps up until 2pm then I cut out any snacks until dinner at 5.30 cause he wont eat it. Kids have heaps of energy to burn so let them eat, besides they havnt eaten for at least 12 hours by the time brekky comes they are STARVING (so my kids tell me...)
Most of the time, DD has 2. Sometimes she will only eat 1 and a half... other times she will ask for more and happily eat another 2. I find that she requests more when she is having a growth spurt. Some days she will also eat 2 w/bix and a piece of toast...
My daughter is 2. She usually has 1.5 - 2 weetbixes. She loves them! Sometimes she does ask for more, but I find that whenever I give her more, she just ends up playing with them and not eating them.
If your girl is eating 3, it might pay to start giving her the kid's version of weetbix (they are lower in salt than the adult version). TBH the total salt in 3 bix is probably low, but it pays to be careful. My little monster regularly munches through 2, but his dad adds 1/2 a cup of rice bubbles as well LOL!
N only has 1 or 1.5 max buthe has never been very into bfast - the rest of the day i cant stop him. he will also have some yoghurt and fruit afterwards...
DS is 16 months and he has 2, most times he'll eat it all.
I don't offer morning tea, however maybe I should introduce a banana or some fruit before his nap.
