Millet porridge
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Purée
- Prep: 2 min
- Cook: 10 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp millet flakes or fine millet
- 150 ml water
- 1–2 tbsp your baby's usual milk
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Simmer the millet in the water 10 minutes, stirring, until thick.
- Loosen with milk to a smooth texture.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: No salt and no sugar. A baby's kidneys cannot handle added salt, and nothing here needs it.
Storage: Fridge 1 day.
Tip: A naturally gluten-free grain with a mild, slightly nutty taste. Good to rotate in so that rice is not the only grain.
