food for 6months baby

Start with puzhungal arisi kanji.Soak boiled rice in water for 1 hour.Dry it in sun.Then roast it in light flame till it smells nice.Powder it finely by giving in grinding mill.Make a little kanji either using a pinch of salt or a teaspoon sugar.Don't add milk.This should be the first food.

Boiled rice is easily digestible.As weeks pass on you can add roasted moong dal,pottukadalai,ragi one by one along with this rice powder.

Another first food is ragi.Soak ragi night itself.By morning,grind it with water in mixie and filter it with tea filter.The fine liquid should be made into kanji by cooking in medium flame.Don't forget to add extra water as it solidifies faster on cooking.

This is a long process.So,after a week ,you can replace it with ragi powder kanji.

Introduce one new food at a time.Check for any allergic symptoms like vomiting,gas,diarrhea.If it happens ,stop for a few days and give in small portions.

Always give new food at morning time.

All the best.
