May i know how to cook porridge for my 8mo? Any good and simple recipes? Other than porridge, puree and cereal..what other food can i offer?

You can either use a slow cooker or stove top to cook your porridge until the consistency you like. If you want it more mushy, then add more water. If you want your rice to cook faster, then you can also soak your rice overnight. With porridge it is really quite simple what you want to add in. usually I mix a variety of vegetables and rotate between chicken/fish/pork eg - broccoli/pumpkin/pork - spinach/cauliflower/fish - carrot/pea/chicken - celery/carrot/fish Other than porridge you can also feed baby pasta. You can buy baby pasta stars from Heinz, then add some puree and mix it together. The puree you make can be similar to pasta sauce - mince beef, onion, garlic capsicum, tomato (assuming your child is ok with tomato) Check out this website for more ideas http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/solidfood8to10montholdbaby.htm
