Serving by Age

Offer a moist cohesive porridge with no firm carrot strands; check serving temperature.

7 months+

This recipe is listed for 7m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, serve as a smooth mash when a smoother texture is needed by blending the porridge with a little extra liquid until lump-free.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker, soft porridge with very small soft lumps; allow baby to practice spoon feeding or offer preloaded spoon.
