NOTES
If the food is too thick just add some more boiled water.
If the food is too watery just add a little bit more baby rice.
To defrost I like to use traditional pot and a little bit hot water but you can easily defrost it in microwave as well.
Home-made baby food is the best because you know exactly what goes into it, not enough mums make their own baby meals these days!
Thank you Nic for this comment. I try to prepare from scratch all meals for my baby, except porridge she eats in the morning. I make also desserts myself daily, usually some steamed fruit with a little bit of baby rice flakes. She is so accustomed to my cooking that she does not like ready meals from the jars…
