Cook vege for how long....

[lpl2208]

Hi mummies,

Need some help on cooking vege.

How long do u cook vege in your kid's porridge? Will u cook it till it's soft or till it's just cooked? Please advise.

Normally cooked till soft, but MIl afraid of loss of vitamin and mineral. Suggested to cook just few minutes. So now seeking help from you all.

Thanks alot.
