My baby is 9months. His weight is 6.700gms. What I give to him His weight in control. Tell me what is ragi. SPrabhu replied. This is what I give my baby:
1) Raagi (They look like mustard seeds. You can buy them from any grocery store.)
Roast them - grind them (fine powder). Take 1 tsp (increase the quantity later). Boil it in very little water (3/4 tsp) to make a paste of it. Add a lot of milk and cook for sometime.
REMEMBER : Raagi has to cook well and it can be a litttle allergic. So try in small quantities. It is high in iron which is missing in breast milk, so you can try this out.
2) Avoid Tur dal - can cause a lot of gas/ colic in babies. Try Moong (yellow) dal. Soak it for an hr, pressure cook (with little salt/haldi- both optional) and mash it. Should be a very thin paste or watery in texture.
3) Try mashed elaichi banana (Kids love this)
4) Kichadi -
Two flavours - Rice (I use aambe more - small grains with good fragrance). Aadd salt/turmeric if you want to - Kids do not require salt/ sugar till they are 8 mths old.
* Boil rice with carrots
* Boil rice with tomato
* Boil rice with both carrots and tomato
* Boil rice and moong (yellow) dal.
Mash it in a grinder - should be a thick paste (whatever is your childs preference)
5)Cook Apple in a cooker - grind it to make it into a paste.
6) You could just cook carrots and mash them.
7) Sujji/ Rava / Wheat (Aata) - Boil Milk - Add Khaadi sakkar/Sugar. Add pre-roasted rava/Aata to it. Let it cook for sometime. Add Ghee if required.
8) You must try cerelac - with iron.

Try them and let me know if your kid likes them. AND PLEASE SHARE MORE RECEPIES kavya replied. hi jyothi,
