We have marmite on toast for breakfast, and a banana. E hates the way banana feels once it gets slimy so I have to give it to her in two halves, one at a time or she just pushes it around. Sometimes we have mandarin as fruit, or avacado on toast. Quartered hard boiled egg is ok, um sorry I don't have many other ideas.

Leahsmummy, I saw a recipe somewhere for baby musli muffins - I THINK the recip might even be on the back of the musli packet. You could also make breakfast bars with weet-bix etc etc. Toast is good too, maybe try different toppings to keep it interesting? Have you tried the banana mashed on toast - mmm I like that one hahaha.

i used to give eden porridge pancakes... just put some in a bowl with no milk and let it cool down a bit and you could pick them up in your hand... very messy tho! you could always just give the weetibx to her - either dry or with a bit of marg on. or in the bowl with a bit of milk to soften it and let her feed herself.

I was going to say that you could try letting her feed herself her ceareal. I use to make DS's really thick so that it stuck to the spoon so more made its way to his mouth.

Haven't read the other responses (lazyness lol) but we sometimes get cereals that are quite big like those mini wheets etc that he can just pick up and feed himself, bit dry but he doesn't seem to care

Fruit toast has always gone down well here.
Or you could try fruit and yoghurt and show her how to dip the fruit in, or even dip weetbix in. You can get those mini weetbix things as well which might be better for dipping.
