Almond Milk Porridge with Berries

The king of all breakfasts! A bowl of porridge makes for a great start to the day, and will give you and your baby long-lasting reserves of energy thanks to the
slow release of complex carbs. Sweetening it with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup gives it extra appeal. Babies should continue with breast milk or infant formula as their main milk supply for the first year. However, you can use other milks like whole cow’s milk or dairy free options such as almond milk with cereal from six months.
