The wholegrains used in Holle Porridges are in an easily digestible form, which is particularly suitable for babies. The goodness of the grain is gently unlocked with heat and moisture ready for your baby’s growing body. Using the wholegrain means we can retain the most nutrients. Suitable as part of a mixed diet, from 4 months at the earliest.

Instructions

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Using First Infant Milk Formula (Stage PRE or Stage 1):

Prepare 170ml of your infant milk formula (according to its instructions).

Pour the prepared formula into a bowl and stir in 18 grams of cereal (3 to 4 tablespoons).

Sit and allow to cool to 37°C / 98.6°F.

ALTERNATIVES FOR 4+ MONTH OLD INFANTS

Using Regular Cow Milk:

Boil 100ml of whole milk and 100ml of water and then cool to 50°C / 122°F.

Pour the liquid into a bowl and stir in 25g of porridge (5 tablespoons).

Sit and allow to cool to 37°C / 98.6°F.

Using Breast Milk:

Stir 25g of porridge (5 tablespoons) into 130ml of warm breast milk. Never heat breast milk over 40°C / 104°F.

Dairy-free Porridge:

Boil 200ml of water and then cool to 50°C / 122°F.

Pour the liquid into a bowl and stir in 25g of porridge (5 tablespoons)

Add 1 teaspoon of edible oil (such as canola, sunflower, hemp, or olive oil) or Holle’s own proprietary blend called “Bio Baby-Beikost-Öl.”

Stir until desired consistency is achieved, allowing to cool to 37°C / 98.6°F before serving.

Dairy-Free Porridge with Fruit or Vegetable Purée:

Mix 20 g of cereal (4 tablespoons) with 100g of fruit purée from a jar (or from one of our Holle purée squeeze pouches) or 100g of freshly prepared fruit purée.

Add 1 teaspoon of edible oil (such as canola, sunflower, hemp, or olive oil) or Holle’s own proprietary blend called “Bio Baby-Beikost-Öl.”

Boil water and then cool to 50°C / 122°F. Add this water to the mixture to achieve desired consistency (we recommend 90ml of water).

As an alternative to the fruit purée, one teaspoon of oil and water, you may intead use 160 g of warm vegetable-based baby food from a jar and 2 teaspoons of the edible oil of your choice.

PREPARATION ALTERNATIVES FROM 6 MONTHS ONWARD

Using Follow-on Infant Milk Formula:

Boil 150ml water and allow to cool to approximately 50°C / 122°F.

Then stir in 18g of porridge (3 to 4 tablespoons).

Starting in month 10, use Holle Stage 3 formula powder instead of Stage 2.

SUGGESTIONS

When using cow’s milk, to improve iron absorption we recommend adding 2 tablespoons of Vitamin C rich fruit juice.
Because the dairy-free recipes provide nearly no fats, we recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of edible oils, such as canola, sunflower, hemp, or olive oil, or Holle’s own proprietary blend called “Bio Baby-Beikost-Öl.”
