Chunky pear porridge
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 3 min
- Cook: 6 min
- Makes: 1 portion
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp porridge oats
- 150 ml your baby's usual milk
- 1/2 ripe pear, diced small
Contains: Wheat
Method
- Cook the oats in the milk 5 minutes, stirring.
- Add the pear for the last 2 minutes so it softens but keeps some shape.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Pear diced small and cooked soft.
Storage: Serve fresh.
Tip: Rolled oats rather than fine ones now, and fruit in pieces rather than purée — the porridge grows up with the baby.
