Is one whole weetabix enough for my little boy’s breakfast?

My LG will have either 1 or 1 and a half weetabix, depending on her day but I think the average serving size anyway is 1 weetabix. Some children also don’t have a big breakfast appetite! My LG has a big breakfast appetite but then lunch is hit and miss and usually snacky bits x
@Rachael thank you for the reassurance. I know every child is different. It just gets me down sometimes because I try so hard with his food and it’s not just breakfast, it’s every meal. He’s so fussy and doesn’t eat very much. It doesn’t help that I seem to be surrounded by mum’s with children who love their food and eat everything and anything!
Honestly I’m in the exact same boat . I have days where he won’t eat a lot al all and then days he will eat loads. Especially when he has a tooth trying to come through he doesn’t want to eat anything. I started worrying about his teeth not coming through cause every I know had kids with loads of teeth and he only got his first one a month and a half ago. He is 18 month in 5 days and he only has 4
My lo eats 1 - 1 & 1/2 Weetabix. Sometimes he leaves a few bites, sometimes he eats the whole thing. I do also offer fruit as well which he usually eats but I would say as long as he is refusing things you know he likes, he is probably just not hungry x
I know this feeling. I try very hard not to compare because then I feel sad. I’ve literally made so many types of food for my little boy and he’ll say all done. He eats 1 weetabix for breakfast every single day. A few bites of toast if I’m lucky. Forget about eggs, beans, waffles, pancakes. Then same for other meals. On a really bad day he’ll ask for weetabix for tea again and it’s soul destroying because I love food and cooking and I can’t believe he doesnt like eating. But we are doing the best we can so we shouldn’t beat ourselves up. Maybe one day they’ll grow to be foodies!
Honestly 1 weetabix would be a lot for my boy! He doesn’t entertain breakfast very well at all x
My 17 month old has 1 whole weatabix mixed with mashed banana & strawberries this morning and that’s all he had until lunch time it filled him right up😂 But if I give him toast, yoghurt fruit etc he’s always still hungry 🤷🏼♀️
You have to remember every child is different. My son also has one weetabix for breakfast and if I do another half he normally doesn’t eat it. He may have the odd biscuits after but not all the time .
