My daughter has completed 5 months and Iam planning to introduce semi solids as i need to join back work after 2 weeks. She has been exculsively on BM till now. Read a lot about ragi here. Is the nachni powder that you get in food stores same as the ragi that everybody referes to here. Can i mix that in water and use to feed that baby. What else can I include in her diet at this stage? VY replied. Thanks a lot everybody. prao replied. u can also try Nestum Ragi
Easier to prepare.. just mix it with milk prao replied. u can just boil the ragi powder in water till it bubbles and give it to your baby. Initially make it thin, as she grows u can make it thicker
sheeba replied. Adding wheat flour is good as it minimises the chances of catching cold as ragi alone has good chance of having cold and cough sheeba replied. Hi,

My son completed 4 months and i just started ragi, since 2 days. I have taken the ragi powder (1 spoon) and added a pinch (1/4 spoon) of wheat flour. Add water (1 cup) to this and stir it with spoon, as if you are washing this. Then strain this through a thin cloth so that the hard particles separate of. Allow this to settle for about an hour or 2. Drain of the water above until u reach the paste like consistency settled down. This paste should be heated on a low flame for about 5 minutes with constant stirring till bubbles appear. This should be mixed with milk and given to the baby until he gets used to the taste. U can add little khadishakar to it.
