I've been using the Ella's Kitchen stage one baby porridge and mixing it with breast milk. No matter how thick I make it to start with, after about 5 or 6 minutes it has gone really watery; like soup!
I tweeted EK about this and they promptly replied and were good about it but basically said to try formula or cow's milk (I will not be doing this). It annoyed me for 2 reasons:1) to me, it implied my milk was watery or bad quality and 2)the pack says suitable for any milk, which is clearly not true.
As I only want yo use breast milk I have just put up with the wateriness and made DD eat quickly. Then today on twitter, a mum said she had the same problem but only with the most recent pack she had purchased.
So basically, has anyone made it with breast milk and did it go runny? Is there a long-term problem with this, a batch issue or do you think my milk is bad quality?
Even if I stop using the porridge, I kind of want to know if I have bad milk.
