I used slow cooker when I first started baby on solids.

When she first started, a few teaspoon then gradually increase. I cooked 1-2 tablespoons of rice (usually will have leftovers so I will eat together). I use japonica rice, after cooking, I will use the masher feeding bowl to further mash the porridge as I don’t blend the grains before cooking (no blender). https://shp.ee/ru7jbh7
After 1yo I used rice cooker.
