Porridge with Apple, Pear and Apricot

From ‘Quick & Easy Weaning’ Ebury Press

This makes a nutritious breakfast. Make up portions of the fruit puree and freezes. Then you can thaw them overnight, ready to mix with your baby porridge in the morning. As your baby gets older you can simply stir in rather than puree.
