Giving baby porridge?

Hi, I need some advice please - My baby is 6 months and I make her veggie purees every day but she doesn't really take to them. The only thing she enjoys eating is Greek yoghurt. Yesterday I was eating Weetabix and she was trying to grab it off me (it had sugar and cow's milk). I'm thinking maybe to try her with baby porridge but I know people say that baby rice has no nutritional value - is it the same for baby porridge? And how do I do it? Just regular porridge or is there a special baby one? And which milk? Is cow's milk OK or do I need to express some breastmilk? Thanks!

I used baby porridge but mixed with other things not just the porridge. The cow&gate just need adding water or you can use formula if your baby taking formula or warm breastmilk. I used warm breastmilk

Sis you can give your baby weetabix , just use her her formula milk and add the weetabix.

They can have cow's milk with food once you start weaning, just not as a drink. So you can add it to porridge or weetabix 😊 You can make up your own porridge mix by blending oats if you have the time

OK so cow's milk is fine 👍 Does Weetabix have added sugar or is it OK for babies? And just plain oats blitzed up and mixed with milk and maybe some pureed fruit?

Just buy regular porridge - you can blend it down if you want to make it finer or just buy Ready Brek. You can make it with cows milk and offer it to her.

@Sam weetabix is fine. No added sugar in it.

My 7 mo loves weetabix! Made with his formula

I did Weetabix at 6months just added baby foluma to it 😊

Weetabix or regular porridge oats is fine, mixed with whole milk ☺️

When my daughter was 6 months old I used to give my daughter Weetabix with mashed banana and she loved it. I just used to add her formula as the milk. The banana gives the Weetabix some flavour.

Thanks guys. Will try oats and Weetabix with cow's milk and maybe some fruit then. Hope it goes down better than the veggies 😂

My little girl loved porridge from 6 months. Just regular cheap porridge oats. Would put different things in, cocoa powder, cinnamon, some mushed cooked apple or pear, peanut butter. Would put some cream in sometimes too.

I gave my boy ready brek and put some fruit purre in it still do and he eats the lot
