Dear mommies... At wat intervals we can introduce new food?

Thank u rehanveer for this post even this helped me lot. @Avani can you pls say how you made moong dal khichadi?

Hi Tejal, Here is d recipe: 1 tblspn rice - dnt use basamati. 1 tblsp yellow moong daal 1 tblspoon toor/arhar daal Mix all n wash it well n soak in bowl overnight. Next day, drain the water n wash it once n spread it over cloth to dry. Once dried, take a griddle o pan n Cook fr 10-15 mins o till it becomes brown. Dnt burn it. After dat cool it n make power using grinder O.

Thank u Avani. This is helpful will start for my boy. Thnkz a ton

Somehow unable to edit the prev one. This powder u cn store it in dey container. Whenevr u want to use it u cn boil d water first n add 1 tea spn o lil less than 1 tea spn of powder in it. Let it boil fr 2 mins n srerve it as it comes dwn to temperature.

@Avni.. wonderful recepie shared. Vry useful.. in what amount and for how long we can store this powder ? And do we have to dry roast it after drying and before grinding?

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.

Thank u @Avni

Avani how to cook this pls say..

Hi Sajitha, I have mentioned in my previous comments dear. Other mommies, If you have tried anythin, do share your receipe. I tried apple, carrot n beetroot juice today.
