sq/m00n: when gif rice can gif those slightly soft rice... can try adding water to the rice oso. otherwise, jus add more water to cook. but differernt fr dry porridge. cos for porridge the rice grain is very puffed and soft, for rice, it is less puffed. i have been giving mixed grains since the beginning. it has millets and brown rice, and barley and dunno wat..5 types.. the barley makes the rice sweet so very yummy even eaten on it's own. so i jus put the veggie n meat aside n feed 1 mouth rice, 1 mouth meat, 1 mouth veggie. sometimes if meat has gravy, i will feed 1 mouth meat plus rice, 1 mouth veggie... mix la..so he dunno wat he is getting next... =p
