My First Porridge — I eat my peas

This ultra smooth and creamy porridge is a wonderfully gentle introduction to the world of food and my daughter adored it from her first mouthful.

Combos: add 1 x portion creamy banana or easy peasy mango to make it a little more interesting

BLW Tip: thickly slice some mango or banana - place on the highchair tray while your baby is eating and see how they touch, play and potentially pick up the wedges. Its a great way to get them used to using their gums to mush down food before they get any nashers.

20g porridge oats

240ml baby's usual milk

Place the porridge oats in a spice or coffee grinder and blitz down into a fine powder. Place in a small saucepans with the milk and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently. It shouldn't require pureeing but if you feel the texture is a little too rough still then blitz down in a food processor.
