Help baby hates breakfast

Hi We are currently on a weaning journey and I’m struggling to get our baby interested in food at all if I’m honest but we really struggle with her having anything before lunch! She’s 9months and due to start nursery soon so the lack of breakfast eating is stressful! Our routine so far is. 7am wake followed by 7oz milk 9.30am 30min nap 11am 7oz milk 12pm lunch with water 1pm 1.15min nap 3pm 7oz milk 4.30pm 30min nap 5.30pm dinner with water 7pm bath, book, 7oz bottle, bed 11pm 5oz bottle (dream feed is currently being reduced to drop) Personally I think we give her too much milk still .. We have tried everything, porridge, toast, eggs in all forms, breakfast muffins, veggie mixtures. The only thing she’ll eat is bananas and yogurts but I’m conscious that this can’t be healthy having everyday? Any comments of help much appreciated.

Have you had any luck with banana pancakes? For ages it was one of the few things my baby would eat. It’s just 1 banana, 3 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of milk. Once we made sure he can have eggs I started adding 1 egg and then just reducing the amount of milk I’ve been adding. I usually add a little bit of cinnamon and if I want to boost the nutritional value I add a sprinkle of hemp seeds or a teaspoon of a nut butter, frozen blueberries or spinach or anything else I’ve got in the cupboard really. The batter is a great base for mixing up the flavours and add ins

Sadly yes tried pancakes of mixed variety some with oats, flour, we’ve added raspberries and blueberries which she likes and hates the texture in pancake or cake form 🫠

The only thing my some would eat for breakfast for a long time was Weetabix but at 9 months it's still quite new to them and milk is more important so I wouldn't be too worried

My son refused to eat breakfast at all until he was 18 months! The earliest I could get food into him was a little yoghurt before his morning nap at around 10:30. Even now, he’s 5.5 years old and still not interested in food early in the day, on school days I have to sneak a bit of food into him by making ‘mama bars’ (baked oats), on weekends he won’t ask for breakfast until 9. But he eats great the rest of the time so I don’t worry. So people just aren’t breakfast people!

I wouldn't sweat it. If she is eating good at lunch and dinner just let her do her thing she will eat breakfast when she is ready.
