Make the most of when your child’s appetite is at its best. For many, this is in the morning. Try some of these breakfast ideas: porridge, pancakes with syrup or jam, yoghurt and fruit, bacon and eggs, hash browns, sausages, beans or spaghetti hoops on toast, omelette, scrambled eggs, cheese on toast. Remember, there is no need to stick to traditional breakfast foods, why not try sandwiches, custard or cakes and biscuits instead?
Cancer Diagnosis how might my Child React
Avoid filling your child up with low energy, bulky foods such as clear soups, vegetables and fruit. “Power pack” the food: add extra protein and energy by mixing in extra milk, cream, oil, nut butters (for more ideas, see section How to add extra calories and protein to food ).
