Caris, when we 1st tried, my girl rejected the porridge, too. could be the timing wasn't right as she was teething then. or the texture not fine enough. so we stopped for 1 wk and just resumed over the weekend. we added these to the porridge:-
Sat - chicken, potato, carrot porridge: rejected
Mon - chicken, carrot: accepted but reluctantly
Today - chicken, carrot, potato: bingo!
My mom cooked the porridge. i tasted Sat's porridge - potato was a bit raw even though they have softened, so suggested to remove potato.
Mon: i happened to reach home when my mom was feeding my girl. had to entertain her by moving a plastic bag up, down. my mom blended the porridge
Today: my girl readily ate the porridge - turns out she likes it blended/pureed very fine, like how those commercial baby food companies manufacture their purees
my mom doesn't pre-cook the soup stock - she wanna do it fresh every time. oh, the 1st time we cooked, we used pork meat
i guess you have to keep trying? that was my friend's advice - her girl initally refused porridge. her babysitter was wondering why - to her it was really tasty and sweet. then one day, her girl took to it. just like that

beannie, hershey, your babies are so cute! can share food. mine will definitely not share when she's holding it - very protective of what's in her hand
hershey, me kaypoh a bit. the safety of the carseat may be compronmised when the vehicle is involved in an accident. so it's advisable not to buy 2nd hand unless you're really sure that it comes from an accident-free vehicle
