breakfast problems

My 11 month old refuses point blank to eat any kind of breakfast. This started bout 1 month ago. She was eating baby cereal all along from 6 months but now refuses to eat anything. Tried fruit and toast and crackers but she simply has no interest. Is this normal or should I be worried.she eats fine for rest of day. Any suggestions please

What helped me was getting one of those fun little trays that stick to the table and has different compartments for each meal component. Walmart has them in baby section. Than I gave my soon a spoon or fork and put plain cheerios, some yogurt, and a main dish like eggs, frech toast. H loved feeling like a big boy with his spoon and most of all he loved being able to dip his toast in a little syrup. Just find what interests her and once youve served her, sit and eat without paying too much attention. Shell catch on. All my kids went thrpugh this.  Kids love dipping. Apples and peanut butter are good too. Good luck

My daughter is 3 and is still not a breakfast person. She just doesn't want to eat right away. Sometimes it gets frustrating but I know she will let me know when she is hungry. Luckily enough I am pretty much a stay at home mom so letting her graze through the morning isn't a big deal since we aren't on a time constraints. I usually give her a cereal bar or toast and some fruit with a cup if milk and let her go back to it whenever she wants to finish eating

It's normal. Just keep trying a variety of foods. Breast milk or formula should be the main source of nutrition right now anyway.

Try other foods or milk or juice.  Applesauce... I dunno.  Maybe the food is to plain for her

Ever since my daughter was 6 months old She loved to eat cream of wheat with me in The mornings. As She got a little older like 9-10 months I started doing cream of wheat and banana slices and this kids would make sure i was up everyday at 6am making her breakfast lol. But i have never really been a morning person including eating breakfast.id eat a little bit to show her that you have to eat. But never really get hungry until noon. Maybe she just hasnt found what she likes for breakfast yet. Or maybe shes just like i am , and not a morning person. Id say continue experimenting a little bit with some different foods and if its a no go then wait an extra hour to try and feed her or just wait until shes hungry. It doesnt sound like something to be to concerened over. Like not an illness or anything. Baaies are human too. Some people are just different then others

It could be just a phase, have you tried rice crispies, waffles or scrambled eggs with tiny bacon pieces? My kids loved them, or give your baby lunch food for breakfast  =)
