buy a pkt of "Gregg's seameal custard". Your baby will love it. You do need to be careful with starch, with little babies.

adding a little more custard powder made into a paste with water would have worked surely

I have found that sometimes it does not pay to compromise on quality therefore I still only buy Fielders Cornflour, Edmonds Custard Powder...the lesser brands just are not the same....never have good results

Sounds like not enough custard powder was used or too much liquid. I have used 'lesser' brands with no difference.

I haven't made custard from a packet for at least 30 years but I thought that even though it is a pre-mix powder, it still has an egg in it. Try heating it gently with a beaten egg in it. It should thicken up eventually.

No egg until after one.
Have you tried adding a bit more custard powder?
