Can Raagi be given to a 21 mths old boy ruby replied. yes u can give.i started ragi for my baby by 5 months.if u are introducing for the first time as hetal said start with soup...soak whole ragi for 5 hrs.grind it in mixie well adding some water..filter it to get itz juice alone..now u shud prepare soup with thiz ragi juice..
boil milk n add juice(5 to 10 tsp) to the boiling milk n stir well untill it thickens.can add lil jaggery to taste.
Hetal replied. yes it can be given,..see your child acceptance to it...
watch for ne changes in bowels,,constipations probs or ne other discomforts,, and offer raagi soup first,,instead raagi pordge or thick paste of raagi...
the day you offer raagi, avoid offering foods like potatos,cauliflowers,banana,,,atleast on the day of introduction,,
let your baby have lots of fluids or juices to make sure his body accepts raagi well without ne constipation or bowel problems...after all one wants a successful acceptance..

for ne other discomforts you shall see,,,,avoid offering it.21months old body is quite busy cruising around and his day is full of activities,,so shouldnt be a problem,,unless like other exceptional cases..

take care !
