Step by step guide on how I prepare my baby's first solids

This is my version of making my baby's first solid. Since we live in a country where rice is our staple food, i made rice porridge for my baby. And this one here is added with carrot:-

1. Put in a pot half a cup of rice with plenty of water (i didn't measure). Leave to boil & let the rice gets soft and fluffy.

I used filtered water for cooking by the way

2. Add in grated carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes.

3. Put rice in a blender / food processor & blend until fine.

( this food processor comes with a few containers for blending so then one i use is only for processing baby's food. For processing other food stuff like chilies, onions etc, i use a different container. This food processor may not be branded but has served me for almost 8 years now :)

4. Pour all back into the pot, let it simmer a little then turned off the stove. Let porridge cool to room temperature* Add some water if it is too thick

5. I would normally keep in containers like these. I put in 2-3 ladle (senduk) full of porridge per container. It can make up to 4-5 serving of porridge. I would store 2 (for day 1 and day 2)in the fridge and the other 2 in the freezer (for day 3 and 4)

I labeled the containers with  Akif's initials so that it will not be used for other food like sambal belacan ;)
