My daughter use to eat everything when she was an infant well let me rephrase that anything homemade she would eat, she is now 18 months & has become very picky.. She wont eat pancakes, waffles or oatmeal so I have hard time in the morning with her any ideas/recipes of something healthy, warm & good I can try?

Cream of wheat? Scramble an egg with soft toast, peanut butter and banana toast, any kind of sliced fruit, rice cereal.

She'll eat scrambled egg, toast & fruit. She wont touch cream of wheat & she dont like pb& j Lol I guess you can say I feel kind of nad when she eats almost the same breakfast over & over, but Im going to keep trying maybe she'll give in to something new. Thanks for all the ideas.:)

 I would make what she likes for now but offer new things occasionally.

Don't limit breakfast to "breakfast foods". Smoothies, toast with mashed avocado, and hummus are all great options. 

Here is a very good article on feeding tots:  http://www.vegkitchen.com/kid-friendly-recipes/nourishing-toddlers/

Kid notoriously go through a growth lull around the age of 1-2ish where their growth significantly slows from the pace it is going in the first year and they become "picky" but in all reality they will not truly become picky IF you continue to offer them a healthy variety of foods. Just continue to give her good choices. If she eats she eats, if she doesnt she doesnt. Dont make "something else" if she chooses not to eat or give in to letting her just eat a select few foods just to get her to eat something. Those supplemental drinks are a slippery slope too, they fill them up so they are not hungry for "real" food.

Unless there is a medical issue a child will not allow themselves to starve and while she may seem like she is not eating enough to keep a bird alive, she IS eating what her body needs.
