make breakfast for my 17 month old with me 👶🏽

2024/12/14 Edited to

... Read moreAs a mom to a busy 17-month-old, I know how challenging it can be to come up with nutritious and exciting breakfast ideas every single day. We all want our little ones to start their day right, but finding the time and inspiration can be tough! My go-to breakfast often includes fluffy scrambled eggs, like the ones I make with Goldhen pasture-raised eggs. I find the quality makes a real difference in both taste and nutrients! And for a delicious flavor boost, I always use a pat of Countryside Pure Irish Butter – it adds such a rich, creamy taste that my toddler, and I, absolutely love. Instead of traditional pork sausage, I often reach for Gilbert's Aloha Chicken Sausage with Pineapple & Ginger. It’s a fantastic way to introduce new flavors, and it’s fully cooked, which makes mornings so much easier to get a protein-packed meal on the table. And for a little treat or a side, hashbrowns can be a fun addition! Just make sure they're cooked until soft enough for little mouths. I usually fry them up until they're golden brown and then cut them into small, manageable pieces. But beyond just eggs and sausage, there are so many other fantastic options for your 17-month-old. Here are a few more breakfast recipes I rotate through to keep things interesting and nutritious: Oatmeal with Fruit: Quick oats cooked with milk (or water) and mixed with mashed banana, berries, or a swirl of apple sauce. A tiny dollop of peanut butter (if no allergies) adds healthy fats and protein. Yogurt Parfaits: Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt layered with soft, diced fruit like peaches or melon, and a sprinkle of baby-friendly granola (ensure no whole nuts). Tiny Pancakes or Waffles: Made with whole wheat flour, cut into small squares or strips. Serve with a little fruit puree instead of syrup for added nutrition. Mini Egg Muffins: Whisk eggs with finely chopped veggies (spinach, bell peppers) and bake in a muffin tin. These are fantastic for meal prep and grab-and-go mornings. Avocado Toast Fingers: Mash ripe avocado onto whole-wheat toast (lightly toasted for easier chewing), cut into finger-sized strips. You can sprinkle with a tiny bit of everything bagel seasoning for an adventurous eater! Tips for Toddler Breakfast Success: Batch Cook: Make a big batch of mini egg muffins or whole-wheat pancakes on the weekend and store them in the fridge or freezer for quick weekday mornings. Finger Foods are Key: At 17 months, toddlers love to feed themselves! Aim to cut everything into small, manageable pieces to encourage independence and reduce choking hazards. Focus on Nutrient Density: Prioritize healthy fats (avocado, butter), protein (eggs, yogurt, chicken sausage), and fiber (whole grains, fruits, veggies) to keep them full and energized. Involve Them (Safely): Let your toddler “help” by stirring ingredients (with supervision) or picking out their favorite berries. This can make them more excited about eating. Don't Stress About Perfection: Some days they'll eat everything, other days barely anything. Offer healthy options and let them decide how much to eat. It's often about the long-term averages. Remember, every child is different, so find what works best for your little one. Happy breakfast making!
