My baby only wants yogurt or cheese at breakfast, nothing else. How do I enrich his breakfast?

Baby reaching for only yogurt or cheese at breakfast is very common — these foods feel familiar, easy, and delicious. You can use these two favorites as "vehicles" to enrich breakfast:
Mix half a mashed banana, mashed avocado, a teaspoon of homemade applesauce, or finely grated carrot into the yogurt. Serve cheese in small pieces alongside hand-mashed egg yolk, thin-sliced cucumber, or soft pear slices. The key is letting him try new flavors at his own pace — serving "what's this?" on a side plate without pressure is enough.
It's normal to need 8-10 tries to accept a new food; first refusal isn't permanent rejection. Offering variety consistently over weeks usually leads to gradual acceptance.
If baby is growing and developing normally, there's nothing to worry about. If it stays this way for weeks and you see weight concerns, ask your pediatrician.
