What to Feed a 1 Year Old for Breakfast.

We pretty much eat everything everyone else has mentioned plus French toast, eggs over easy, waffles, bluberry pancakes - pretty much any regular breakfsat food. So glad to see everyone is a big breakfast eater! best meal of the day! My daughter loves it! Definitely the one meal she really scarfs down.

My daughter loves nutrigrain bars and cut up strawberries or bananas. Toast or bagel with cream cheese cut up, dry cheerios, canned fruit (in juice not syrup), or diced avocado and scrambled eggs with a lil ketchup and juice or milk!

We mix cereal with yogurt (instead of milk) for breakfast a lot of mornings. It is thicker, but they get the calcium. Does your little one like cherrios?

I fed mine, loads of pawpaw, cooked organic oats, fruit salads and yoghurt, , banana's avocado, little meat, mostly ham, or chicken. Vegetable and potato bakes, and tarts/quiches, soft pasteries

I would make an omelette one day, cut it into small squares. A two egg omelette was oftern good for 2 breakfasts. Sometime I'd add spinach or red peppers cut very fine - always a little cheese.
cherios are always on the list for 1 yr olds.
american cheese stacked and cut into small piles (it looks like a cube but falls apart - no choking hazard)
small pieces of banannas, apples, any other fruit in season
yogurt
we were always big on protein so even small peices of leftover meat from dinner: ham, chicken.
to this day my teen son would rather have grilled chicken for breakfast than a frozen waffle.

My son loves scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles and French toast... Just started a small bowl with a little milk and cheerios and he loves it

Oatmeal! You can put a variety of fresh fruits or dried fruits in it and it's got a ton of good nutrients. The cereal isn't terrible either. As she gets good with a spoon, give her a bowl of cereal and milk or just give her dry cereal as a finger food and some milk to drink or a cheese stick to eat along with Cheerios or whatever cereal you're into. Some kids do like tofu. I don't like it and don't really like to food with it, so, while I've tried to expose my kids to it -it's been limited. It's also been met with somewhat "blah" results, and I've tried giving it to them plain and with flavors of stuff I've cooked. My oldest only likes it deep fried :-( and we try to stay away from deep fried for the most part! Cheese is fantastic to feed your baby and yogurt is too! My boys have eaten their weights -several times over -in yogurt for breakfast. It's another thing you can add fresh fruit to as well as granola or dry cereals. They also really like Clif Kids bars (nutrition bars) and Larabar protein bars as well as Nutri-grain bars (we usually get the Kroger brand -identical but $1 cheaper -they like the Kashi TLC brand too). If you're going with a bar and she just turned one, you should probably chop it up a bit for her to use as a finger food.

My 15 month old loves oatmeal for breakfast and scrabbeled eggs. He also likes toast with peanut butter, bannanas, peaches, yogurt, pretty much all fruit and bagels and cream cheese.

My second daughter is 13 months and since 2 months ago absolutely refused to eat baby food. She is not a happy camper til she has her banana in the morning to start with. If we are eating cereal then so must she or so she thinks. I started her out with multigrain cheerios. They taste great and were easy for her. Sometimes I give her a cereal bar, i break it into halves in case it gets dropped. Now she wants her sisters' frosted flakes. I put a couple in a bowl for her and she walks around like a proud big kid. When i am tired of same old thing, i give her yogurt. Since we arent' big breakfast eaters i even tried making smoothies. That was a BIG HIT with both my kids. You can even put yogurt in it for add vitamin and help fill baby up. I hate yogurt even in smoothies so i make mine with strawberry sorbet, frozen blue berries, Odwalla super C, and if i have formula to use up i will put a scoop of that in. Any more than a scoop makes it too thick and was too much iron for me to handle.
As for tofu, never tried and well just can bring myself to buy.

Hi! I have a 13 month old and our morning breakfasts include: scrambled eggs, apple, yogurt (gerber with less sugar - the yogurt drops are healthier, but we usually save those for a snack time), sauteed zucchini (this she LOVES), mushrooms, broccoli (really whatever veggie i have in the fridge that was cooked the day before and just needs to be warmed a little), cheerios, or a little lunch meat (turkey or chicken usually - if mommy's eating it she wants some, too). We mix it up day to day so it's not always the same but she loves it and will always try anything :o) Babies don't need any meat if you don't want to give it to them - I just talked to my pediatrician about this - his son didn't try meat till he was like 4-years-old (he's a picky eater now, but the doc didn't say if the lack of variety from the start was a factor in that...). I've only had tofu in soup... i think you can marinate and grill it and it's supposed to take in whatever flavor, but i haven't really tried - it's a good option though - i'll look into it now, too!

For my 13 month old, I do yogurt and a banana, cottage cheese with peaches, toaster scrambles, pancake/sausage on a stick, cheerios and fruit, or waffles.

I recommend a protein (scrambled eggs), fruit (rasberries - easy to chew), and perhaps yogurt. Even cereal is okay, but I would recommend "regular" food that the rest of the family eats. Would you like to eat plain tofu for breakfast? It doesn't seem very appetizing :-) My babies loved eggs, rasberries, blueberries (wait until she's older), yogurt, tiny ham cubes, tiny bits of cheese and cheerios. I always had to serve fruit for digestion, since eggs, cheese and ham tend to be constipating.

Please check with WestonPrice.com- excellent resource-
soy based products can cause early onset of secondary sexual characteristics- I would not feed anyone what passes for tofu these days, esp. girls.
you can trust what she wants as long as you make sure she get NO sugar.Sugar throws everything off.
Best, k

I would say feed her what you eat. If you eat cereal, feed her cheerios or oatmeal. Scramble eggs are good as well as peanut butter toast (good source of protein) and waffles along with some fruit either pureed or cut into small pieces. Yogurt is also a good addition. Unless you eat tofu, I wouldn't buy it, because if she does not like it, you are going to have to throw it away.

Anything that doesn't pose a choking hazard and isn't a known family food allergen is OK according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

They have a parenting website, HealthyChildren.org, that has great resources including a sample menu for a child that age:

My kids loved fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, grapes, bananas, pear slices, apple slices, etc), yogurt, toast, oatmeal, eggs. I was always there and felt comfortable giving them larger pieces to help them learn to chew. So, bananas, I'd give them 1/2 a banana and let them gnaw on it, same with thin slices of apples/pears that they could chew.

Of course, verify our advice with your pediatrician, but anything goes!

Hi there, once I was in your shoes with my baby girl who is 28 months now. I didn't give tofu to her until she was 18 months and she didn't like it when I first tried but I tried again and again. She eats now but I don't think it is her fav. My easy breaky for my daughter would be oats, banana and rasin. But when I have time in the morning I would make her special french toast without honey or syrup. Since I am asian, I also make some traditional breakfast too. My daughter loves cheezy scramble egg. Following link is my own blog for healthy baby foods. I was inspired to start this blog by making my baby homemade fresh food. http://www.babyfoodprocessorrecipes.com

These are some things my son loved for breakfast at that age.
Yogurt and yogurt/fruit smoothies
Eggs, either scrambled or hard boiled
Whole wheat toast or whole grain toaster waffles spread with peanut butter
Cereal, Kix or Cheerios with a banana cut into it
Bagel with cream cheese
Fresh fruit, grapes, strawberries, melon, kiwi, plums, whatever is in season
Good luck!

My one year old loves yogurt, hard boiled egg yolk, toast with butter or small pieces of bananas. I also do oatmeal with some baby food fruits. I still do feed my one year old some baby food for fruits and veggies since he only has 2 teeth I feel like I need to supplement with some baby food here and there.

My babies love to eat cereal dry. Or cream of wheat, or oatmeal, toast (with butter and cut into small squares), yogurt, bananas, even bagels (also toasted and buttered and cut up).

I used to just have cold cereal for breakfast, but I've started trying hot cereal because it's cheaper and so warm and comforting on cool mornings. I found this recipe online for having hot breakfast waiting for you in the morning, and I want to try it:

I've never eaten tofu, nor fed it to my kids.

Oh, and when my kids got older and were learning to use a spoon, I'd pour the cereal in a bowl and then just a tiny bit of milk. They liked Frosted Mini Wheats, and those were so easy. They soak up lots of milk, so there wasn't much left in the bowl in case it spilled or got dumped on their head or tossed across the kitchen like a frisbee :D

Hello,
First let me say that tofu is not good for young children. It is soy based and has way too much estrogen for children.
Good breakfasts for children are fresh fruit cut up- bananas, strawberries, grapes, melon..etc.. Also multigrain cheerios dry or with milk. Cream of wheat is also really good for them and easy to eat at any age.

I think it's hilarious when people talk about tofu being bad for human consumption because suggesting that you instead feed your child the rotting flesh of a murdered animal is healthier is absurd! I don't see any healthy suggestions other than the fruit. But really when introducing your child to foods remember you are creating the palate tastes for life. Give your child lots of healthy natural tastes rather than processed unhealthy 'easy' foods.
My daughter nursed exclusively for the first year then I introduced mild miso soup with veggies and brown rice. I also had some simple fruits that aren't too sweet. A great thing you can get from Whole Foods is called Amazake by Grainessance (sp?) it's got no added sugars and sweet only from brown rice. There are ones with greens in it, plain, hazelnuts, or almonds.
There is nothing wrong with just feeding her what you eat as long as you remember she is small and the food needs to have less strength to it ie less salt, less sweet, less spice.
A better soy alternative would be any fermented soy product especially tempeh. Fermented soy is always better and healthier but certainly any choice is healthier than carcass. Tempeh is full of protein (for all those protein worriers) and b12.
Have you tried making steel cut oats for her? Soak overnight in water and cook in the morning with some almond or rice milk. Make sure you get a brand that does not add sugar or whatever phoney name they use to make it sound healthy. I like Pacific's hazelnut milk, so does my daughter. It doesn't have all sorts of canola oil added either. Ooohhh a great thing to do is to put some chia seeds in a clean coffee grinder and sprinkle some on her cereal for all the omega 3,6 and 9.
If you want more suggestions, let me know
