When to cook
Cook as soon as a baby is hungry or the objective says Feed the Babies. Crying is not only hunger, so check the overhead icon and the task text before you spend the whole shift at the stove.
The opening meal is porridge. Later sessions also mention babies asking for milk. If the prompt says milk, follow that word. Do not assume every cry is the porridge tutorial again.
Tutorial feeding steps
- Open the kitchen fridge and take the ingredients. The tutorial line is Get the ingredients from the kitchen fridge. A shift walkthrough calls the item a porridge pack.
- Use the pot on the hob. The prompt is Pot or Cook. Wait until the cook finishes. Cooked porridge in the tutorial pot is yellow.
- Carry the baby with Pick Up.
- At the high chair, use High Chair or Seat. A pale blue high chair by the kitchen window is the visual cue in the tutorial kitchen.
- Pick up the cooked pot with Pick Up Pot and bring it to the seated baby.
- Feed from the prompt the pot or the baby offers. One play session shows a feed-all action once several babies are seated: Pick Up Pot or Feed, used on the whole row. The tutorial itself stops at having the yellow pot beside one seated baby and then tracks the Feed the Babies objective.
Seat babies before you walk away with the pot. An empty extra chair is also where a walkthrough says an impostor can sit down among the real babies. Count the babies you seated against the ones you are supposed to have.
If the stove misbehaves
A shift walkthrough reports the stove catching fire or losing power. The tutorial pages do not list a separate repair prompt for that. If the Cook prompt is missing, check the objective again and look for a power or repair interaction in the kitchen before you pull another pack from the fridge.
How you know it worked
The Day 1 objective list includes Feed the Babies. Later, a fed baby should stop the hunger cry. If the baby still has a stain, a poop icon, or a fever tag, feeding did not clear that problem. Switch to the bath, the changing dresser, or kitchen syrup.
