Re: Sleeping through the night???
Ya tose cereals are good but they arent nearly as filling as the home made porrodges.. I only give e those if im swiped out… A couldnt be fed those cuz it did nothing for his massive appetite mashallah..
Any grain.. Oat, sooji, millet etc
In a pot, add 1 tsp butter (we put butter from day 1 starting at 4 months). U can skip it if u arent ready.
Saute the grains a bit and add water enouggh to cook it completely…
Take it off.. It will thicken and solidify … Add formula to loosen it up to whatever consistency ure kid can manage.
I usually first add shredded fruit (or puree)…this gives it a bit of juice …if its still too thick than i add the milk… U do not add formula to actually cook the porridge.
If u dont add fruit… Then just add milk to reach the desired consistency.
I put all kinds of vegetables and fruits… If i make the porridge in stock, i add chicken puree or fish or keema… Anything goes really
khawateen ur recipes r amazing! i would love to give homemade food to my baby…
when u make the porridge for a 6month old do i need to blend it?or just add the puree n milk?(when introducing cereal for first time)
