Hi all. I have recently begun eating porridge for breakfast due to hearing of its health benefits. I wondered is it ok to try a little with my son who is 17 months old ? Thanks Alb
I've been giving Mini Boo porridge Ready brek for breakfast, especially on cold mornings since she was about one. I usually add a little bit of chocolate sauce or syrup to sweeten it, not much though.
nota chance jno- she aint seen em, I wait till she's in bed before I get the Fancies out the cupboard! She makes do with Co-op's finest Borubons and custard creams as her treats....lol
lol Red, it started out as a bit of experiment really. I hated the thought of her not having 'something warm' in her on cold mornings and tried Ready Brek, but without loads of sugar I find it really bland so I squirted choc sauce in for her, the very fact there's chocolate in it makes her wolf it down :-)
British cuisine for the ost part is an embarrasment. It cannot be exported for consumption in other countries because most of it is vile. How many English restaurants have you seen abroad?
My boys had porridge from about 6 months old - you are probably better with the microwave individual packets as the oats tend to be finer. We always added fruit puree ice cubes (fresh or tinned fruit in fruit juice, blitzed with a blender, then frozen in ice cube trays) which gave it flavour and cooled it down fast. Now they mostly have honey or a blob of jam. No sugar ever. Jordans organic oats are great but much coarser and chewey.
Another good hot breakfast is wheetabix made with warm milk and added fruit puree - again no sugar.
