porridge recipee

ingredients:
1 tbsp of rice
1 tbsp of chopped potato
1 tbsp of chopped carrot
1 tbsp of chopped tomato
2-3tbsp homemade chicken stock

put all ingredients in slow cooker, add 1 cup of water, cook for about 3 hours. Puree/blend til smooth.

remember to wash all vegetables/fruits with edible baby soap/cleanser.
You may buy organics vege/fruits for your baby.

the ingredients may be varied/replaced with peas, spinach, corn, broccoli.

I have not given any meat/beef/ fish to caleb.
According to 'super baby food' book..beef/meat/pork can be given at 7-8months; fish (cod) 8 months; salmon 9 months.

for chicken stock:
you can use anything...from chicken bone only or cook with the meat. you can buy the chicken bone at NTUC for about $1+. just boil with water (you may add celery, carrot,etc to get a sweeter taste, but I just use the chicken bone and water only) OR use slow cooker. remember to remove the skins and fats before you boil/cook.
after cooking, put in small plastic bags..divide for some stocks (for a week,maybe..), let it cool and freeze. you may use it for 2 weeks stock when frozen.
