My son likes toast (he has recently decided he likes toast with CINNAMON, said in exactly that way), cereal and milk, oatmeal and "breakfast sandwiches" (I usually make egg, ham/sausage and cheese on an english muffin). He also loves bagels and fruit.

DD (16 months) eats organic oatmeal with whole organic milk and raisens, maybe a few drops of organic honey, or organic whole milk yogurt. Poor kid, she gets the same thing practically everyday!

I have a 5yo and a 3yo. We often eat pancakes for breakfast. On Sundays it is usually donut holes. Occasionally we eat cereal or toast. In the winter we add oatmeal with applesauce to the menu.

My daughter is 18 months old her breakfasts are:
oatmeal
toast with peanut butter
fresh fruit

dry cheerios or the healthy cardboard cereal my husband eats (sometimes she dunks her cereal piece by piece in my milk and eats it)
She won't eat eggs although I keep trying.

My children like to make their own breakfasts. So they have a choice of:
Cold cereal, Oat meal, Grits, Eggs, Waffles, Pancakes, Malt-o-Meal, or Cream of Wheat.
Usually very simply made and they all enjoy eaching being able to have what they want instead of everyone having the same thing. Usually it is Oatmeal or Cheese grits.

-muffins.
-supper leftovers

My 20-month-old has cereal every weekday. During the weekend, we'll have pancakes and fruit or eggs, sausage and hashbrowns. She's not a big eater, esp. in the morning. I've tried giving her pancakes during the weekday and she's didn't take more than two bites, so cereal seems to be the trick. Maybe because that's what daddy eats?

DD is 20 mos. and generally eats whatever we eat for breakfast. It varies pretty broadly:
Eggs -- scrambled (w/water or rice milk, nutritional yeast, basil or dill, chopped kale or spinach, salt and pepper), fried, omelet (with veggies, maybe some cheese or salsa)
toast or English muffin
cereal (dry or w/rice milk)
water, watered down juice, herbal tea
smoothies
oatmeal (walnuts, apples, and cinnamon is her latest favorite, but I'll toss just about anything in there)
pancakes, waffles, "celiac" pancakes (just egg, cinnamon, honey, and almond butter)
Or the classic -- leftover dinner from the night before!

(Cooking for myself, and a 3 and almost 1 year old.)
Before the weather got so fricking hot, we ate lots of hot cereal (oatmeal, cream of wheat, brown rice, 12 grain, etc.) - sweetened with fruit for the baby and usually maple syrup for me.
Scrambled eggs and cheese (I HATE scrambled eggs, but the kids love them.)
Homemade yogurt, sometimes sweetened with blueberries
Cereal with milk and frozen blueberries
Smoothies (fruit and yogurt)
Waffles, french toast, pancakes (banana or blueberry)
Leftover waffles, french toast, pancakes, with peanut or almond butter
Muffins (if I am ambitious enough in the morning to make them)
Lots and lots and lots of fruit
We usually eat some sort of combination of the above (the kids are big breakfast eaters).

My ds is 2 1/2 and we try to have something different every day, such as the following:
Always fruit, esp. frozen bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple
Oatmeal with milk, fruit, honey, maple syrup, and/or cinnamon stirred in
Scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese
Toast w/ peanut or almond butter
French toast with whole grain sourdough
Homemade plain yogurt with fruit
Homemade oatmeal wheat pancakes
Homemade waffles
Fruit/Greens Smoothie (in addition to one of the above)
Breakfast is easy. Lunch is where I have a total lack of imagination!

Thanks for replies!
My son is 3, he has toast with jam everyday pretty much. Its not that healthy I know, but I cant be bothered....
is oatmeal the same as porridge? I heard thats healthy? and what can you use to flavour it?
do they need fruit in the morning?
