I usually boil the porridge together with kurau fish, spinach and pumpkin. Sometimes i will replace pumpkin with carrot or beancurd..

Hello tempura76, i came across a forum on many receipes for babies and toddlers, however it is prohibited to post the link so i just took one of their receipes to post here. If you like to have the link, just PM me, and i can send it to you.
Fish paste congee with spinach and egg yolk (suitable for 8-15 months baby):
Ingredient
1/2 bowl of spinach
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fish paste
Method
Blanch spinach in hot water. Soak it in cold water for a while to eliminate the taste of vegetable. Chop into tiny pieces or grind in blender to a puree. Cook the egg. Retain egg yolk and mash. Leave for later use.
Submerge 2 tablespoons of raw rice (about half cup) in hot water for more than an hour before making congee. Pour about 7 cups of water into the pot.
Add spinach puree, fish paste and egg yolk when congee boils with bubbles. Cook for a while.

hello all.
kit, sent the link to you just now. Have fun experimenting on the porridge!
sonic, you dun accept PM so i can't send to you. 4 months might be too young for porridge, he might have problem to digest it. i think it will be better to wait until 6 or 7 months before introducing porridge to him.

Hi Thumbprint,
can PM me the link?
Sonic
i agree with thumbprint. it is too early for porridge at 4 months. the main nutrition would still be from milk below 6 months. and like what thumbprint say he may not be able to digest. he may not be able to swallow semi solids well also.
Hi All,
i usually try to make my boy's porridge a bit more colorful. Green - Vege (Brocoli/Spinach/Asparagus/Cauliflower), Yellow - Corn, Protein - Beef/Chicken/Fish/Pork, Orange - Tomato/Pumpkin/Carrot/Sweet Potato
I try to have all colors
My fren also suggest that i add in some brain food like linseed. So far my boy is ok with it.

hello mommies, just PM all. If I miss out any of you, let me know.
sonic, i also agree that practicing makes perfect. Maybe can test more porridge recipes on yourself first to see which recipe taste better. It will be better to introduce your baby simple porridge or i should say... bland first then slowly to more colourful recipes.

hello jazzyjas, just PM you.
As for the "pureed", are you referring to the Fish paste congee with spinach and egg yolk recipe that i posted b4? If you are referring to that, i juz follow exactly by the recipe to chop it into tiny pieces (you can also grind it in blender) to a puree.

hello!
jazzyjas - i am not too sure how old is your bb, but if your bb had eaten cereal and had no prob with it, then shldnt have any prob to start the carrot etc if you can manage to grind it as fine as possible. but still, it will be better to introduce one at a time in case of allergy.
sonic - i have not got my best ideal blender yet too. probably we can try therese's recommendation.

hello limkelly, PM you already..
hi tempura76,
How to prepare? Just cook the mushrooms in the boiling water? For how long?
Hi mummies.
I posted in other thread too regarding how to prepare chicken stock and vegetable stock. Thought maybe I can share here too. But I myself has not try yet.
Homemade vegetable stock
Ingredient:
1 onion, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
2 large carrots, peeled
1 large leek, washed
1 stick celery
1 tbsp olive oil
850ml water
1 sprig parsley
1 sprig of thyme (optional)
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
Method:
Roughly chop all vegetables. Heat the olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pan and add the vegetables and garlic. Sweat the vegetables in the oil without colouring for 5 minutes- cover with a lid if you like.
Add the cold water and bring to boil. Add the herbs, bay leaf and peppercorns. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Leave to cool for a couple of hours, then strain through a seive. Squeeze remaining juices out of the vegetables by pushing them down in the seive with a potato masher.
Suitable for freezing
