Hi all :), These are the foods that I introduced for my baby girl at 5 months and 12 days. Always look for allergy signs when introducing new foods.

( Day 1, 2, 3 ) Recipe #1 – Rice porridge for baby

rice – 1 cup ( 250 gms ) ( I used par-boiled rice )

Method:
Step 1) Wash the rice and strain using a colander.

Step 2) Heat a big pan and roast the rice until dry and crisp. ( takes 3 – 5 minutes )

Step 3) Add it onto a plate and let it cool completely before grinding.

Step 4) Grind to a fine powder ( If the grinder/mixie is small, grind in batches. ) Add the ground powder to an airtight container. If the rice powder bowl is warm to touch, let it cool completely before closing with a lid. Store in cupboard / pantry and use up to 2 months.

Step 5) To prepare porridge:
Take a small sauce pan, add 2 tsp rice powder, 1 cup water ( 220 ml ) and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce to low and cook for 12 – 15 minutes until the rice is cooked.
Pour into a bowl and feed when slightly warm.
