Baby French Toast RECIPE – Eggy Bread for Babies

baby french toast recipe - eggy bread

Weaning can be one of the funnest and completely frustrating part of having a baby. My children have all been pretty different. All three took to food very well but my eldest daughter and little man, have definitely been more fussy as time has passed. They both ate pretty much everything at first but now at almost 15 months, my little man is definitely more picky. Some evenings he will not fancy a cooked meal at teatime and will end up having more snacky foods. He is definitely harder to feed at lunchtime, as refuses baked beans, scrambled eggs; the favourites of the girls before him! We are a family who does really enjoy eggs, cooked in all sort of ways and this baby french toast recipe; eggy bread, is a firm favourite of the little man!

Investing in baby-friendly tableware during this time is a great idea too. The bowls and cups from different materials for every parent come in various exciting and inviting shapes and forms, from a baby fox to a bunny. These weaning sets for babies make lunchtime thrilling and fun for both the baby and the parent, thanks to its bright and colourful patterns.

I always feel so much better if my kids have a meal with egg in it! They are just so nutritional and it doesn’t bother me if they are a bit fussy at another point during the day. Packed with protein and containing Vitamin A and Vitamin B12, they make a good meal. Hubby and I loved baked eggs too when we get chance to have it!

Annoyingly my little man never really took to scrambled egg when weaning. We tried omelette and pieces of boiled egg and he still wasn’t keen. I really wanted to be able to get some egg in him and when my husband devised an eggy bread for babies recipe, he was completely sold!

    I never think of having eggy bread despite loving it so much. It’s one of those things I always forget about. I think I am going to make it this week as a treat for all of my family x
