    my Ds is 14 months old and he'll have
    egg on toast
    scrambled egg (by itself, for some reason he doesn't like that on toast)
    pickletts (but rarely)
    fruit with yoghurt
    wheatbix
    toast and vegemite...
    baked beans on toast!

    DS was never a big eater at that age either... but he's coming around now! Don't worry too much, a child has never starved themself to death I know easier said than done, i used to worry silly too but now I have hindsite

    Anything they can pick up themselves like Cheerios, Nutri Grain (I use these as going out snacks too)
    Porridge.

    I ran of weetbix one morning and tried Sultana Bran with warm milk..she loved it.

    My 12 month old has Millet, oats, barley or rice. All made from the wholegrain. She has stewed apples or banana or blueberries in whatever grain she is having. And a drop of cows milk too.

    My older children have brown rice, steamed veggies with tahini and tamari sauce. And miso soup in the mornings. Thinking that bubba will go this way too soon.

    I was going to make all the same suggestions!!! Lol.
    Crumpets
    Yoghurt
    Porridge
    Nutrigrain is a good one (mine used to love it just dry - although now they won't eat it)
    Weetabix
    Banana & Honey on an English Muffin
    Scrambled Eggs
    HTH!

    Stewed apples. Mashed banana or berries in it while you are coking cooking goes well with oats. You can soak your porrige overnight to make it cook faster in the morning. Oats are naturally sweet so you do not need to add sweetener, as a baby has very sensitive taste buds and can taste the natural sweetness of the oats and fruits.

    Not much I can add here except to agree wholeheartedly with the suggestions re eggs (DD has loved scrambled eggs for brekky since she was about 9 mths) and baked beans (another favourite). We've also given her leftovers for breakfast such as cubes of tofu with steamed rice and a bit of butter, raisin toast which is a bit hit, peanut butter or avocado on toast, and definitely weetbix or porridge with fruit. Now she's getting a bit pickier but she'll usually eat what I put in front of her so long as she gets to feed herself, so I usually give her meals in a procession (eg, dried or fresh fruit chunks, then toast or egg or porridge). Once a month or so when I have the energy and time I make a batch of banana bread with mashed cauliflower in it or banana muffins with sultanas and these work well to grab from the freezer for breakfasts when we're rushing out the door. She doesn't eat a huge amount.. she's still on a bottle of milk when she wakes which kind of spoils her appetite but it's what she wants and she's only 14mths so I don't worry about it.

    Like Heather said, anything they can get from the bowl to their mouth! I know DD is older now but she loves bubbles! (rice bubbles). Back then special k, nutrigrain etc

    My DS loves the Sultana bran buds too
    We are also big scrambled egg fans here, I try to not mix them too much so they are nice big chunks for him to pick up, he loved them from about 10 months
    Hot X buns are a hit and always have been
    But our staple breakfast is weetbix with warm milk followed by toast and vegemite - this has been our most popular breakfast for well over 12 months

    Oh and yep, porridge!!
