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!

Autonate days i cook. White or Brown Rice. Slow cook the porridge. Usually i use fish or chicken. I will add broccoli , spinach or carrot. My dau is 10months. Till now she has tiny 2 little teeth. I dont stress about it. Because not every baby is the same. Take it easy. Dont stress yourself . Cheers

thank you! yes indeed i am stressed... i have been giving her cereals and a variety of veggies n fruits but not fish/meat/porridge... i am so afraid i am doing it all wrong or not giving her what she requires. thanks for the encouragement.
