Thnk u Neha. Yes roasting is required as it ll b easier fr baby to digest n gives lil long shelf life. Also, roasting the cereals will eliminate the chances of moisture in it. If you are not refridgerating, you can use it upto a month. Else you can use it for 3 months! I prefer keeping it in fridge altough i make it to last fr a month!

Word of caution: give this mixture during the day time. Since its lil heavy to digest for babies, i hv stopped giving my son during night tym. Had i tried giving him at night but he passes reflux n vomit it out. Hence stopped it. You can try ur luck for the night tym, if it suits your baby, continue.

Hi Sajitha, Two wats to feed them apple, are as below: 1. Wash n directly grate d apple n strain d juice n give it to baby. 2. Wash n slice d apple n boil it. After it becomes soft u cn grate n strain d juice o u cn directly strain d juice. Add water as per the required consistency. If u r giving it for the first tym, would suggest 2 nd method n water. I will b trying apple with elaichi today n will share the receipe. If approved my my son.
