Preparing Porridge for Weaning Babies Using WiwoMills Flour | Wiwo Mills Tanzania

🍼 What Is Weaning?

Weaning is the gradual introduction of solid foods alongside breastfeeding, usually starting from 6 months of age. Porridge is often chosen because it is:

  • Soft and easy to swallow

  • Nutritious and filling

  • Gentle on baby’s stomach


🧁 Why Use WiwoMills Flour for Baby Porridge?

Wiwo Mills provides finely sifted, chemical-free flours perfect for preparing baby porridge:

  • Lishe Mix – A balanced blend of maize, millet, soybeans, groundnuts, and more

  • Pure Uji Maize Flour – For babies starting with single-grain porridge

  • Sorghum or Finger Millet Flour – Rich in iron and calcium

Each bag is milled under strict hygiene standards in Kisesa, Mwanza.


🥣 Baby Porridge Recipe (6–12 Months)

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon WiwoMills Lishe or Uji Flour

  • 1 cup clean, boiled water

  • A pinch of salt or sugar (optional)

  • Breast milk or formula (optional, added after cooking)

Instructions:

  1. Mix flour with a little cold water to make a smooth paste.

  2. Add the paste into boiling water while stirring constantly.

  3. Cook for 7–10 minutes on low heat until smooth.

  4. Cool slightly, then add breast milk or formula if desired.

  5. Serve warm, using a soft baby spoon.

📝 Tip: Start with thinner porridge and gradually increase thickness as your baby grows.
