Baby porridge for CMPA

11 replies

Aisha92 · 10/03/2025 13:59

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. My baby girl has CMPA and will be 9 months old when we go on holiday.

She currently has blended rolled oats that I cook on the stove with water and add fruit purée to. I have been looking for an instant baby porridge that I can just add water to on holiday but they all contain milk!

So my question can you add boiled water to blended oats without cooking in micowave or on a hob?

If not does anyone know of a dairy free baby porridge which can be made up with just boiled water (or her sma Althera formula)

Could you not use weetabix or oatibix and add warmed formula to it to make a breakfast?

You could do overnight oats instead so you just need to leave it overnight in the fridge rather than cooking it. That way you can use any plant milk or formula you wish. Same concept as instant oats but you just need to be a day ahead of yourself.

Also Tesco do a milk free instant porridge pot. You just add water

You could use ready brek with just hot water or hot formula, I've made it like that in the past. Especially in small amounts, maybe worth trialling it before going away.

The Organix range has dairy free porridge options. You can find them in the baby aisle

The Organix one is dairy free and comes in a few flavours. DS (who has cmpa too) loved it! You can order direct off their website if you can’t find it in the supermarket

I thought I read skimmed milk powder on the back but just checked online and you are absolutely right! Will trial it this week thank you ☺️
