My girl at 10 months plus, still not ready to consume the normal savory porridge which is not pureed. She prefers smooth puree that is not too thick. For this pumpkin millet porridge, it is pureed before feeding.
Now a days, my baby is fed on savory meat and veggies porridge on weekdays by my mum, while on weekends, I'll introduce new ingredients to her diet.

awww..what a dedicated mum u r! I bet it taste just as delicious for adults too LOL
I like millet and usually mix them with other grains - brown rice, barley when I cook my porridge. It is good that you introduce nutritious food for your bb.
I like millet with rice, and also with pumpkin, savory or sweet. Hope it have promoted good sleep for your baby, which is supposed to be a benefit of it : ).
Wat a healthy and super filling porridge.
What a nutritious porridge you made!! Instead of blending the porridge, you can use the tip of your spoon to press it lightly before feeding her. This will slowly help her to pick up her chewing skill. Maybe you can try brown rice porridge for a change. Wash and rinse the rice, then air-dry (or oven-dry). Then blend until powdery and keep in an air-tight container. I used slow cooker to cook porridge for my son. It's a great investment to me. ;)
This sounds wonderful for your little one. I miss my babies at 10-months old. :) Enjoy while she's little. They grow up too fast. Happy Friday.
Food For Tots, thanks for the tips. I'll try to prepare the brown rice by this weekend. I have a small slow cooker purchased when she was 4M old. Have not use it yet.
I have some butternut squash in my fridge, can cook like you too tomorrow for my boy.
My boy loves sweet porridge or smooth savoury ones.
I tried introducing slightly granula but he doesn't mind not finishing his meal.
I'm not very experienced also la, haha, my 2 girls were fed a lot by their baby sitter during the early few months. But that time I also never think much about introducing other grains. Being the typical Chinese, all rice porridge, LOL, and savoury ones too.
good post
