Mummy cooks porridge for Konkon

Konkon has been fully breastfed since he was born ... He started solids when he was 3 months old ... A lot of people might think it is a bit too early to start ... I was also thinking of starting his solids when he is maybe 5 or 6 months old ... But Konkon is a very smart little boy ... He knows what's food when he was able to see ... He knows that daddy and mummy is eating something call food ... And he wants to eat too ... So when he was 3 months old ... He begins to go on strike occasionally on the breast ... Or taking just a little at a time ... I begin to worry that he might not have enough to eat ... So my mother suggested me to start solids for him ... And true enough ... He wanted to have something other than milk ... I started baby cereal for him ..  It was hard initially because he is a very gan jiong boy ... He wants everything chop chop fast fast ... Drink milk also drink very fast ... But eating is different ... It's not like milk that goes continuously into his mouth ... He cries everytime we gave him his solids because he feeding with a spoon is much slower than drinking milk .. But luckily, he managed to understand eating is different after a few days ...

Even though Konkon started his solids early ... He still grew very fussy with food ... He is very particular with what goes into his mouth ... And whenever we are outside ... We try to experiment him with new food .. By 6 months ... We decided to move on to porridge ... I rarely cook and home and also we are out most of the time ... Therefore.. we normally buy porridge from outside to feed him ... And we realized that he doesn't take all porridge ... We have narrowed it down to these few porridge that he would take: changi village porridge, crystal jade porridge and the porridge from Nex food court ... All these porridge are really delicious! Others that we bought ... He will refuse it ... High standard sia Konkon!

I have tried to cook porridge for konkon many times ... And everytime he rejected it ... He just doesn't like the taste of it because home cook food are normally not as strong flavored as outside food ...  But a mom doesn't give up!

And one day ... MUMMY SUCCEED!

Japanese rice recommended by Sherlyn

Chicken bone, Pork bone, Ikan bilis, Scallops

The soup stock from the above ingredients after 1hour of slow boiling (to ensure the flavors all come out)

The final product (After another 1hour of slowing boiling with the soup stock)

Yes .. It finally pays off ... The porridge is sweet and also soft enough for Konkon to eat ... And he takes it!

Gonna add some puree once Konkon get used to eating porridge as he still prefers to eat baby cereal sometimes ...
