How to start on porridge?

How to start on porridge?
1.       Cook porridge using chicken/pork/vege stock.
2.       Blend or mash. (Make sure your baby is ready for the texture!)
It is best to serve the porridge and other ingredients (meat/vege) separately to allow your baby to enjoy the textures and flavours before mixing into the porridge. You can give 1 spoonful of each item, followed by some water when feeding.

How to prepare batches for freezing?
1.       Steam/boil ingredients.
2.       Puree/mash to desired texture.
3.       Portion out into freezing tray.
4.       Allow to cool.
5.       Cover with lid once cooled and keep into freezer.

Heating up frozen puree/baby food
1.       There is no need to defrost/thaw the frozen food.
2.       Cook immediately by steaming. DO NOT USE MICROWAVES as there are hotspots which might burn your baby’s mouth!

  1. I am planning to give my baby porridge soon...so i am wondering whether i can freeze porridge? Can I add the chicken or fish or vege into the porridge together and freeze or freeze them separately?

  2. I freeze plain porridge cooked with soup stock.
    For meat, I freeze them in individual portions, raw. I steam in separate bowl when steam to heat up porridge & vege. Add into porridge when cooked.
