Baby C Loves Homemade Porridge

When Baby C kept rejecting baby cereals, my mum cooked her some porridge. To our surprise, she loves porridge to bits. She has been eating homemade porridge for the past 2 weeks and I am really glad and relieved that I’ve found something that she really likes to eat. So what am I going to do with all the cereals that I’ve bought? I guess I will have to give them away to my friends with babies. Baby C hates most food that are sweet and creamy. I think she associates them with her daily antibiotics.


The crockpot of porridge that my mum made for Baby C. The porridge has purple sweet potato, grated carrot, red beans, grated green veggie and some ‘mei tau’, a kind of beans that are supposedly good for the eyes, a chunk of chicken breast (to make the porridge sweet) and a small chunk of fish fillet (which Baby C eats).  My mum planted the beans in her veggie patch in her garden.

Alycia was also a porridge lover when she was a baby.  She hated cereals too.  Sherilyn is a tad different from her 2 sisters.  She hated porridge and I rarely cooked them for her when she was a baby. Sherilyn was a cereal lover and she ate them until she was 3.5 years old!

    Homemade porridge is the best! I’ve been making them for Bryan since the beginning and even now, he eats them for dinner every weeknight. I don’t even add salt into it…just put more meat for flavouring.
