What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Cook 3 tbsp iron-fortified farina to a smooth porridge per the box.
- 02Mash 2 ripe strawberries with a fork until saucy.
- 03Swirl the berries through the warm farina until pink throughout.
- 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.
