Velly shiok .... now I feel like having that for supper :!:

My boy is now helping himself to the bottle of honey in the fridge. He is most clever to know and remember where we put the food items. For cookies/biscuits he will point to the corner cupboard. For bread & buns he will point at the microwave oven which we use to store the bread. For milk, honey, raisins etc, he just open the fridge and help himself! :!:
Not the condensed milk too!
:x

[quote=\"LLK\"]Thanks for your sharing. nutritious and tasty porridge and oatmeal are indeed good choices for breakfast. I will suggest giving kids some fruits, such as banana, papaya or apple in the morning. Any views pls?

yes, fruits are good to incorporate into meals, but fruits for breakfast,
some children may run toilets, have to take not of that.

On the other hand, it can also inculcate good bowel routine in the mornings.

Don't remember DS suffering from constipation since young.

:D[/quote]depends on individuality,
some kids with sensitive digestive systems, can't even take breakfast,
otherwise will have Stomach cramps and Diarrhoea.

as for my gal, def a No...No fruits for breakfast....esp during exam period.

Don't get angry lah ....

Look at the bright side .... perhaps this is a step towards learning how to whip up his own meals independently in the future

Hi micollh,

The brand starts with L. Its from NTUC. Think its called Loewen or something. It takes about 15 mins or so to cook with milk, whereas DH and I have Quaker quick cooking oats. As a baby, DS used to have Nestle's oats with prune cereal from the box, then after he turned 2 and a half, I gradually switched to the current rolled oats.

You can try other brands like Red Mill. They carry baby oats, 5 grain cereal and many other varieties of grains and cereals suitable for breakfast. Can check out http://www.iherb.com under breakfast or cereals. Or you can get them from big NTUCs or Cold Storage.

Thanks, I think i will try it out for my DD, make a yummy one so that she will stick to it.

Anyone tried oats with peanut butter?

This is what I do:
Cook quick-cooking oats in the microwave with just enough water. Immediately mix in a generous tbs of peanut butter. Add milk to adjust to desired consistency. Dribble a tsp or two of honey.
DS luvs his oats this way.
