Baby Rice Recipe

  

The first solid food that we are weaning Raven on is baby rice, I am making this myself as a lot of shop bought baby rice is full of sugar. We are giving this to Raven at about six thirty or seven in the evening after we have ate dinner, so we can focus on solely feeding her when its time for her dinner.
Below is my recipe for my homemade baby rice, its super easy and quick to make too!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 of a cup of blended white rice, organic or brown rice into powder form (this can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to a month). 
• 1 cup of water.
•  Breast Milk or Formula.

1.  Put the cup of water into a small saucepan and boil on high heat.
2.  Once the water has boiled turn down to a low heat.
3.  Measure out your rice powder into a cup.
4.  Sieve the rice powder into the hot water, a bit at a time and stir to get rid of any lumps of the rice powder which sometimes sticks together.
5.  Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring the whole time; if you want the mixture to be runnier then add hot boiled water (from the kettle) into the saucepan and again stir until the mixture is even.
6.  When done, put into a bowl, let cool and stir every five minutes to prevent a sticky mixture. 
7.  Before serving add breastmilk or formula to make the mixture a little runnier. This also make the taste of the baby rice more familiar to your little one.

  So that's all, like I said its super easy!!  Make sure to have many cloths and baby wipes on hand as feeding this to your bubba will get really messy!!
