Not sure if it the same in the Uk but here in France Nesquick(spelling) chocolate milk shake has extra vits etc added, could you maybe get one of the fruit ones for her to drink.

You could try cereal bar on the way to school pass it off as a sweet?

She will drink milk and fruit juice in the morning so I think I will just give her that and some toast or cereal and just let her eat what she wants and take a snack for school then.  It will be better than having a fight every morning

I cant eat breakfast, If Im not rushing out I might eat some toast after Ive been up couple of hours, but school/work days I dont eat until lunch.

My little boy is the complete opposite, he adores breakfast. He'll eat anything lol He gets his own breakfast (unless he wants warm cereal, toast, waffles etc then I do those). Ive seen him mix frosties and bran flakes together in a bowl before now, and devoured the lot lol He also likes yoghurt for breakfast, and most often a piece of fruit with it. I have to keep a huge yoghurt stock in for him lol, maybe you could try that for her?

I really do know how it feels not to want to eat in the morning, and its not a nice feeling being made to eat (my parents did the whole 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' routine with me) In the morning the school is likely to have a fruit break, and with it they'll get a glass of milk. I know at our school they get free milk or water, anything else we want them to drink we supply. We also supply the fuit for morning, or yoghurt/cheese snack. Maybe you could send her in with a fresh fruit juice (for her fruit intake) and a cheese dip, or yoghurt. That way she'll be getting a breakfast, just a bit later in the morning when she'll probably prefer it.

I have had a thought...you could find out if your new school has a breakfast club that you attend together?!?!

My DD is the same! She says she is too tired to eat after a 13 hr sleep! At school she will get fruit for morning snack so I'm just going to tell her to eat it quickly or there will be nothing till morning snack time. I'm sure she'll cope. I have tried everything and now I just give her whatever everyone else is having and let her get on with it (or not). All you can do is set a good example but you can't force them and like a previous poster said sometimes the attention keeps that sort of behaviour going! Good luck with LO starting school :-)

Ooops meant to say when he did go off breakfast too I made him pancakes with fruit  he ate it.  Could try pancakes?

My 4yr old ds is the opposite!!  The ONLY meal he'll eat is breakfast.  He likes muesli, porridge with honey, toast etc.

My concern is that he wont eat anything at school or even dinner when he gets home!!

It's amazing after how little they seem to eat how energetic they are - I'd be on the floor lol!!

I am hoping that it'll improve once he goes to school.

We always sit down and eat together, I have tried giving her the same as me, the same as her little sister or the same as my husband and she wont eat.  She will eat at other times of the day but not first thing in the morning.  She always has some milk, which is something but I don't know what else to do.  I have even taken it away so she has nothing and she is fine with that!

Do you sit and eat your breakfast with her?? I would try eating the same as her and at the same time, then she may do as you do. If she doesn't eat it say nothing and clear it away. Sometimes it's the fuss they like rather than actually not eating.

Failing that you could try giving her something like a piece of toast to eat on they way to school rather than getting her to sit and eat something?!?!

Or what about one of those "breakfast-on-the go" type drinks. Not a fan myself but would be better than nothing!

best of luck. I 'm sure when she's in a routine at school and realises she can only eat at certain times during the day she will be crying out for breakfast!!!

My 4 year old is not a big fan of breakfast, she picks and fusses at whatever I give her and it normally ends up in an argument because she wont eat.  I am worried about when she starts school in September as she needs to eat something but I can't bear the thought of the hassle in the mornings to get her fed and out on time.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do?  I just have visions of arguments every morning for the next 12 years
