Creamy porridge

Suitable from 6 months.

If you are preparing this recipe for a baby unable to tolerate whole cows' milk, please read the special cautionary notes below.

Ingredients:

Please note:

Please check ingredients carefully as some products may contain allergens that you are unaware of. If your baby is following a strict vegetarian diet, make sure their usual milk is suitable for vegetarians.

*If your baby is following a milk free diet, just use the formula suitable for your baby's special diet as directed by your Healthcare Professional.

Method:

• Dissolve sugar in the milk and apple juice over a medium heat.
• Stir in the porridge oats and simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring continuously.
• Purée and add more milk if the mixture becomes too thick or stir in some Cow & Gate Baby Rice to achieve the desired smooth consistency.
• Cool and serve.
• Makes multiple servings. Just freeze the remaining food into portions appropriate for your baby. Can be kept in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months.

You can also try stirring in your baby's favourite fruit purées to create different flavours.
