What does your 6-7 month old eat for breakfast?

Why dont you try mixing the apple with a vegetable? It goes with almost anything! Nothing wrong with veggies for brekky

Raffertys cereal is much better for a bub than weet-bix too.

around that age DS liked to have Raffertys multigrain cereal or bellamys porridge, now hes a bit older he has weet bix too, i try to give him something differant every day so he doesnt get used to the one thing. and i always mix with differant fruits, depends whats in season but stewed pears or mashed banana are always a hit!
i would try and perservere with the cereal. i always found after a few rejections he would then take it if i kept offering.
all the best

DS only recently started eating 'breakfast' foods. Before that he would have whatever fruit/veg was going (usually the same as lunch & dinner, poor chap). If he likes the stuff you give him for lunch & dinner, why not give him that for breakfast too?

We have allergy issues in the house. I can't feed him banana as I can't come in contact with it.

Some of my apple puree is very watery and even that with the oats and no formula added was just completely rejected. We persevered for about a week on the home made apple puree - he's so stubborn he was preferring to go hungry rather than eat it, which makes for a fairly miserable day for the rest of us.

I haven't introduced lunch yet - we do breakfast after our first bottle (about half a jar) and dinner, which comes before a bath and the last bottle for the day (so he eats more - at least a full jar and one of the biggest reason I got myself making my own mush). I know I wouldn't want to eat the same thing for each meal of the day, so I don't really want Sam to do so either... Is too much pumpkin a bad thing?

DS has a lot of pumpkin. He loves it. He has it every day. Have you tried sweet potato? I can sub it for pumpkin, and also blended carrot and zucchini... (I mix the zucchinin in the carrot as it makes it easier to blend up).

Oh, and have you tired the food before the bottle? My DS has it that way... food at 7.30 and a huge bottle at 9am. When he was younger he would then have a big nap at 9am... He has always been that way (from 6 mo)...

Just wanted to say that wheetbix should NOT be given to a child under 12 months. Even wheetbix put it on their packs now.

BW, I just always used quick oats as they cook down fairly fine. Regular rolled oats are a bit coarser, but still OK. You could also try the raffertys cereal as it isn't like farex at all. If after all your attempts are rejected by him, don't stress about it too much if it is just that one meal of the day that he prefers brought food.
