Baby porridge recipe for starting baby solids

Pureed Porridge, Almond Milk and Pear

Serves 10

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup water

1/2 cup almond milk

1 pear, peeled, cored and diced

Methods

1. Add oats, water, almond milk and diced pear and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low and simmer until all liquid has been absorbed by the oats and the pears are soft.

2. Transfer porridge to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir frequently to prevent porridge from sticking.

3. Once puree is cool, divide between 12 small containers. Store in fridge for up to 3-4 days or freezer for 2 months.

From around six months of age many infants will experience a significant decline in stores of nutrients, such as iron and zinc.

(1) It is therefore recommended that the first solids you introduce are iron-rich foods, such as pureed meats, fish, or iron-fortified cereals, cooked tofu, or legumes. (3)
