QOD: Is it ok to give my toddler the same breakfast every day?
No! Children need a wide variety of foods so that they eat a wide variety of nutrients.
If you offer the same old food every day you may suffer from one of these: a picky toddler who refuses to try anything new, a limited palate for new and adventurous foods, poor nutrient intake due to an inadequate variety of food, and/or unhealthy weight gain if liked foods are missing all the food groups, especially fruit and vegetables.
