Porridge for baby

My daughter loves the baby banana porridge. Mixed it with an ounce of her milk at the start but now just mix with warm water and she loves it

I use baby banana porridge with boiled water x

i use the baby porridge with boiling water and then mix it with a mashed banana

I use ready break and whole milk xx

I just use normal porridge oats but ready brek would be fine x

I use Tescos own version of ready brek and either give it in the normal way or make porridge fingers with some mashed up fruit in there too, like raspberries 😊

@Emily can you tell me how to make porridge fingers these sound yummy 😍

@Carley they look yummy! I just make up porridge like usual, but thicker. Then mash up some raspberries and mix them in. Then I get a small Tupperware box but you just need something microwaveable and press the mixture into the bottom. Pop in the microwave in 30 seconds bursts until it looks done. I have to flip mine over so the bottom cooks the same as the top. Then let it cool and take it out of the dish and cut into strips. I serve it with Greek yogurt and mashed up raspberries, like a little dip! Hope that makes sense x

Thanks all, super helpful!

@Emily thank you!!

I use baby porridge and mix with fruit purees at the moment x

I make it fresh with whole milk :) using ready brek ad it was a better consistency than normal oats I found :) Introduced allergen two for peanut butter in the porridge :)

@Louise do you make it in the hob? And did you test the milk as an allergen first or is it okay to cook in? I feel like I have no clue how to wean no matter how much reading I do 🙈

@Amy Draper I haven’t done too much reading! Just went off chats with the HV and an hours session with a community midwife! There’s too much info for me 😂 I’d spiral! So we tested milk as the allergen first using it to make the porridge, then after four days we added peanut butter to it as the next allergen :) we make it on the hob if we’re all having it but if it’s just me and baba we make one portion in the microwave ☺️ I’m no expert by any means but been doing it this week and feeling more confident so feel free to message me and I can try and help! ☺️

I use the baby porridge with either her milk or boiling water x
