My son is 16 months old. I don't have him on a schedule so he usually sleeps anywhere between 9-10. What are some good breakfast items to feed my son when he does wake up in time for breakfast.

Thanks in advance for the comments!

my 19mo is very picky...she'll usually only eat multigrain cheerios, blueberries, apples, and/or vanilla yogurt... sometimes she'll eat graham crackers or fruit leather.. she used to love plain waffles but not so much anymore. she's just starting to eat a slice of bread, so i think i'll sneak some peanut butter or pear butter on a piece and see how that goes :S

French toast - favorite
Wheat flour + egg + milk - pancake
Idli
Dosa
Broken wheat porridge
Oats
Uppumav
Vermicilli porridge
Omellettes
Trying to refrain from over the counter ready-mades...healthier to prepare at home.

i do cheerios =) but my toddler does have all her teeth and has had most her teeth since 13 months. so i have been doing cereals like cheerios, fruit loops, shredded wheat, dry or with little milk( shredded wheat with milk)
i also will do oat meal and fresh fruit
yogurt and fresh fruit
weaffles , pancakes, and fruit wiht some sausage. its things that i would normally eat my self for breakfast. if having no teeth then i would just do puree versions of it all.

Whole wheat pancakes with fruit and sweet potato puree in them, so easy..make a batch as directed and add 2-4 jars of fruit/veggies and freeze! Oh and you can them with very little sugar! I still do baby oatmeal with lots of fruit and milk, he doesn't like the texture of the reg. oatmeal. I have a really picky eater! French toast dipped in a jar of sweet potatoes, peanut butter toast...

My Little guy eats toast and a banana and some cheerios sometimes. He won't eat eggs, and I don't think babies need all the sugar that waffles and pancakes have in them. Once in a while, if I make those things for breakfast, he may be allowed to have one, but not often. :)

My son gets up about the same time. When i make him breakfast i usually make him scrambled eggs with toast. Or cream of fruit oatmeal. With a banana or orange, some times thinly sliced apples with out the skin. Hope it helps.

lately my 16 month old has enjoyed english muffins with jam or cream cheese, he is also a fan of oatmeal (i mix it with a bit of applesauce), sometimes he'll just eat yogurt and fruit. i've done scrambled eggs a couple times and he liked them, but i think they gave him a rash, so i haven't tried them in a while.

i get the small variety packs of cereal but they do have sugar in so only has them 2 a week, weetabix, cheese on toast, scrambled eggs on toast, toast with jam, crumpets. she has whatever me or her dad have for breakfast now. some mornings if she is being picky i chop up bits of fruit and give her them to feed herself with. x

I usually give my 16 month old oatmeal mixed with a little bit of milk and honey and half a banana. He has also had toast with butter and honey or peanut butter. I usually try to give him some type of fruit along with a whole grain.
