Is this the right consistency?

I’d add a little more powder and mix a bit more, I found it was runny like this using the instructions on the packet so end up slightly winging it to make it thicker! It also thickens if the milks warm a little and the more you stir.. or at least the one I’ve used does anyway! X

@Lizzie thank you! I added a bit more and it’s thicker but a wee bit lumpy. Is it the kendamil one you use? And is it ok to be slightly lumpy? First time weaning so I have no idea 😅 x

Baby rice has absolutely no nutritional value what so ever, your best of using porridge if you want to start with a thin consistency!x

@Eilidh I use the aptamil one but I imagine they’re virtually the same! I’ve served it lumpier and smoother at times as sometimes I’ve used formula and other breastmilk - my LO doesn’t seem to mind either way on consistency, and I put it on the side with a purée of fruit or veg. Same with the first time, I’ve found it an absolute minefield! Doing a combo of purée and BLW currently ☺️ I’m sure you’re doing great x

@Beth my GP recommended to start with baby rice over oats, but that might’ve been specific for my LO as he’s had lots of issues with his tummy and reflux, so we’ve been cautious to start bland!x

@Lizzie Ahh yeah that makes a lot of sense! There’s not much harm it can do to the tummy!x

@Beth he is still fully breastfed so not feeding for nutrition, just trying him out on different tastes and textures atm x
