Notes
✓It is always necessary to consult with your doctor before starting any other foods
✓Its good to breastfeed your baby exclusively for 6months
✓Start giving it in a diluted form, then slowly thicken the porridge according to the baby's age.
✓Slowly increase the quantity
✓I started adding drops of ghee only after my baby was 7months, just for the nice flavor
✓You can also dry roast ajwain seeds(omam) and grind it along with the cereal powder.
✓Always follow a 3 day rule before starting  any new food. Wait for 3 days to check for any allergies.
