Strawberry farina porridge

StirIron + vitamin C6–8 months · 9–12 months

What's in it

Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.

Steps

  1. 01Cook 3 tbsp iron-fortified farina to a smooth porridge per the box.
  2. 02Mash 2 ripe strawberries with a fork until saucy.
  3. 03Swirl the berries through the warm farina until pink throughout.
  4. 04Cool to body temperature — check a dab on your wrist before serving.

Why it works

Fortified farina is one of the highest-iron foods a baby can eat, and strawberry's vitamin C multiplies how much of that iron absorbs — sweet, pink, and done in five minutes.

Storage

Keeps 24 hours covered in the fridge; loosen with water or breast milk/formula when reheating.
