My daughter is getting fed up with weetabix and cheerios which are the cereals we tend to have. Any suggestions of alternatives that are not packed with sugar but which children like?


She also eats yogurt, toast and fruit but that's about the extent of our breakfast menu and I think she would welcome a change!

My kids tend to have a selection of shreddies, rice krispies, cornflakes, cheerios & weetabix. Porridge always goes down well, I put raisins in it for them. They never have just one of those options, always two, and they tend to both choose different combinations which is sometimes a bit much for my brain to cope with early in the morning! But I figure if it means they'll eat a decent amount of breakfast I'll do it.


As a "special weekend treat" last weekend I gave them cocoa pops and neither one liked them, they both asked for "normal" rice krispies. Oh well, looks like Mummy will have to finish the box then... :)

English muffins (not the sugar packed American ones), crumpets, toasted bagels, baked beans or spaghetti hoops (we go for the low sugar/low salt variety). Our kids also reject sugary cereals (for treats), even though they like the look of them if they see an ad. Funnily enough I have one that will only eat rice crispies for breakfast even though he is offered a choice.
I've started making Bircher muesli and my 2 year old loves it. Dead easy; soak whole oats in good quality apple juice overnight in the fridge then top with fruit (grated apple, fruit purees, blueberries or whatever) and a dollop of yoghurt. I make a big batch and we eat it all week. Yum.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
