Fully Loaded Fruity Porridge

Baby E loves breakfast but can get bored of the same thing so I like to vary it throughout the week. This "Fully loaded" is one of our favorites and a great way to get porridge into them if they haven't mastered the spoon yet. Baby E uses both spoon and hand to pick up the pieces of fruit which the porridge has stuck too.  She is now 1 so the pieces are small but this can be varied to suit younger babies with larger chunks of fruit that the porridge can be sucked off of.  Its so simple

 Ingredients:

•  Porridge  -60g serves both of us- 3 scoops

•  Milk -

• Yogurt half tub - we use Glenisk goats milk mostly

• Mixed chopped fruit - 2 strawberries, 2 grapes, half kiwi, half mandarin, 5 blueberries, quarter apple`(we vary this depending on what we have & I add what extra for my portion too)

Method

• Make porridge, this works better when sticky rather than a runny consistency.

• Add yogurt to cool.

• Add fruit and mix through.

Note-
 - For younger babies   be careful with grapes as the skin can be a choking hazard .
- Apples can be hard so although E is now 1 and able for them she doesn't like them tough so I put apples in while cooking porridge to soften them.
-If  E is having a "throw things away day" and not enjoying the fruit, or not in the mood to use the spoon, I add some cheerio's to the porridge , its always a savior here.  - Tesco ones are the lowest salt I've found.
-Alternatively you can stew chunks of apple, pear, plum(some of the harder fruit)  for a few minutes to soften but not fall apart and add them to the porridge. Its a great melt in the mouth option for smaller babies.

Hope you enjoy.
