Breakfast for babies can begin around 6 months, when the weaning period starts. However, what matters is that breakfast is planned as a nourishing meal suited to your baby's preferences, not just a meal by itself.
Before one year, breast milk or formula is still your baby's primary food. Breakfast begins as exploratory small portions. Usually by 8-9 months, babies become more accustomed to a breakfast meal.
Things to watch in first breakfast:
- Eggs: At 6 months, well-cooked (hard) egg yolk in small amounts starts. From 8-9 months on, well-cooked egg white can also be tried.
- Cheese: Pasteurized, unsalted, preferably fresh cheese like cottage cheese or low-salt white cheese. Salty cheeses aren't appropriate for babies.
- Bread: Small pieces of well-tolerated whole wheat or white bread.
- With it: Avocado, very soft fruit purees, or finely chopped fresh fruit.
Until one year, baby breakfast excludes honey, cow's milk, raw eggs, and nuts/nut butters (unless advised by your doctor regarding allergy risk).
In summary: At 6 months, breakfast is a small exploratory start; by 8-9 months, it becomes more regular. Monitoring your baby's digestion and following your pediatrician's guidance will be healthiest.
