Baby A turns 9 months this week and is crawling and climbing everything so it is important that I can make healthy breakfasts so she is full of energy for all her adventures.
This pink porridge packs in 3 fruits and fills her with slow releasing carbohydrates and protein in the morning. It’s not just for babies though as I enjoy it too and so does J! You can add a drizzle of honey if you want to sweeten it a little.
As we have done elements of baby led weaning since the start, baby A is good with eating lumps but if you have been doing purees then around 7-9 months is the time to start introducing more lumps into their meals. This recipe is still fairly smooth with some small soft lumps for them to enjoy and is perfect for this stage of weaning.
Pink porridge
50g oats
125ml dairy free milk
½ banana
¼ apple
Handful strawberries or rasberries
Method
Mash the banana and rasberries/strawberries. Add to a saucepan with oats and milk over a low heat. Dice apple into 1/2cm cubes and add to the porridge. Cook gently for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Baby A is also starting to eat more now – some days I think she eats more than J! We have been testing out some of Hipp’s products as part of their #weanteam and she particularly enjoys their strawberry fruit pots with apple pieces. They have over 40 recipes for different stages so you can easily introduce more tastes and textures. If you are unsure about introducing lumps to your baby then take a look at this video from Hipp’s nutitionist for some useful tips.

This sounds yum!! Haven’t given Amelia porridge since we were weaning as I don’t like it but might let her try it again as a change of breakfast! Hope the weaning goes well xx
Oh, this sounds tasty! I’d like it 🙂 We loved the Hipp products when we were in the UK and the boys were small x
I wish i experimented more when we were weaning *takes notes for next baby* aha. Looks yummy though i might try it for myself!
This looks so yummy! Love that it’s pink too.
Looks yummy! Wish I had thought to make it pink when my girls were younger, they love pink x
Will make a nice change!
I love this pink porridge, and how cute is baby A! I love that you’ve packed 3 different fruits into this breakfast 🙂
This sounds really tasty, I’m going to pin it to remind myself when baby girl is weaning at the end of the year!xx
This looks delicious. Chloe gets the same breakfast every morning. Either weetabix or readybrek
Oh gosh this looks delicious! And I can’t believe your little baby is 9 months already!!!
This sounds lovely, my kids love porridge so pink porridge would go down really well!
