How do we prepare porridge for a 9 month old? No teeth yet. Do we use the normal grains that we use to cook rice /porridge for ourselves? Or do we need to buy anything fanciful off the shelves meant for babies only? Do we need to puree porridge or sieve it etc? Gluey or watery? Anyone mixes brown rice grains into the porridge? Any brand in particular? Thanks!

Relax, there no need to consider so many things. Just use what u have at home and cook porridge - cook for a long time till like teochew porridge - usually abt 30min(if u got soak the rice for a few hrs before) to abt 1.5hr (not soaked). No need the fanciful stuff. U can give white or brown rice or mix - depends if ur baby is willing to eat
