Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp semolina
  • 120 ml water
  • 2 strawberries, ripe, hulled and peeled
  • 1-2 tbsp breast milk or formula (optional)

Preparation

  1. Bring the measured water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan.

  2. Whisk in the semolina slowly, stirring over low heat until it is completely cooked and tender with no dry flour pockets; follow its packet's cooking and liquid instructions if longer.

  3. Wash and hull the strawberries. Cook with a small splash of water until soft, then crush or blend completely without whole berries or tough skin.

  4. Stir the fruit purée through the cooked semolina until smooth and moist; add safe water if needed to avoid a sticky, dense lump.

  5. Remove from heat and cool. Add expressed breast milk or correctly prepared formula only after cooking if used, following its handling instructions.

  6. Check there are no firm strawberry pieces, dry grains or hot spots before offering on a spoon.

Serving by Age

Offer as a soft spoonable porridge without hard strawberry pieces; seeds need not be individually removed from a fully mashed soft strawberry.

6 months+

Serve as a smooth purée. Blend or mash thoroughly and thin with water or milk until silky; ensure strawberries are well cooked and peeled for younger babies.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker, soft mash. You can leave very soft, tiny lumps if baby manages them well; avoid any firm pieces.
