Breakfast Help

Help. When it comes to eating breakfast, my son is finicky, Super Finicky. Would love suggestions from others who have picky early morning eaters.

what food are you presenting him, what age is he, and are you trying to feed him at the same time as other siblings?

He is 6, and eats with his younger sister who is 3 and eats everything and lot of it. We have tried multiple cererals, fruits, yougurts, grits, oatmeal, eggs, waffles, you name it. The only things he eats bacon, pancakes and powdered doughnuts. While those items make a southern boy feel warm and fuzzy, I worry about the nutritional value!

Maybe the secret is sticking to what he likes but just giving it a healthy makeover.

The bacon could be switched for turkey bacon if it isnt already...its pretty good now and butterball even have a low sodium version.

Then the pancakes could be substituted for something like these vans pancakes.

or they also have a buttermilk version too.

The donuts I have no answer for. I hope I'm not being in any way patronizing in what I've said above. You guys have provided me with a lot of education and advice through the podcast and website, so I am only trying to reciprocate.

They say keep presenting the other stuff and eventually they will try it.

My son would only eat cheerios for breakfast every morning when he was five, but now he is willing to try anything once. It might just be the age your son is at.

Good luck.

Is it an issue of the food or something else? Duncan's only 17 months, but I've found that he sometimes needs to wake up before trying to do breakfast. I now sit him down with some dry cereal until he takes an interest and then start into the scheduled program.

I was considered a finicky breakfast eater when I was a kid. My mother went as far as letting me eat microwave breakfast meals with a tray full of syrup poured on. I'm pretty sure that was a bad idea. Looking back, I think I had sleep problems and just wasn't awake and ready for eating. Syrup and special treatment bribed me into getting with the program. If you look into that, I'd be interested. The sleep thing, not the syrup soaking of anything that is 80% grease or more.

That said, I don't see why frozen fruit bars aren't more popular breakfast items. No Sugar Added, of course. And I've started liking yogurt as a regular part of my own regimen.

Sin City Breakfast Tacos.



You can vary this up anyway you want (sub/add bacon, hide veggies, add cheese, and so on) but the basics are here. Makes the house smell amazing when cooking up the onions to a tender and translucent texture, perfect for hiding in eggs. And if your kid still won't eat it, who cares because you'll be on a breakfast taco high.
