Rice bubbles are an alternative to weetbix... But these days DS tends to like to choose from the breakfast cereals that we eat (no reasons toddlers can't eat them too!). He love the red Be Natural one at the moment, but will also go for corn flakes, muesli and anything else that's in the cupboard.
If you go into your health food isle you can get rice bubbles and corn flake varieties without wheat and with lower sugar, low salt, and the freedom foods range are still reasonably high fibre. Costs a bit more than your regular brands though as they are made specifically to be allergen friendly.
After a good look around, I came home with puffed corn, bran 'worms' and puffed rice. So far, he's tried the puffed corn and bran together and LOVES them! He's eaten every single bite for four days running (hasn't woken up yet so I can't tell you about today) and chooses his own cereal every day. He also LOVES spooning up the little bit of leftover milk at the bottom, partly because it spills and drips everywhere, lol!! He's even eaten the puffed corn as a dry snack (tastes like popcorn).
Mummy is now happy that her little boy is eating something more than a sip of milk and one grape for breakfast...
