Here's the formula:
1 cup milk (we generally use 1% regular, or use goat's milk which is more digestible and available at the health food store)
1 cup instant baby rice cereal flakes
1 jar strained baby meat (no turkey)
1 tsp karo syrup
Warm up the milk and mix in the cereal until thick. Stir in the strained baby meat and karo. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk or water. Refrigerate left-overs and warm up to serve the next time.
Our little girl liked this formula so much we did not have to force her, and eventually, we just put a few spoonfuls on a saucer and she licked it right up. |
Thank you for this. I appreciate all the ideas I can get.
