Although, my family doesn't believe in such rituals but for just satisfaction I had chanted Gaytri Mantra first then feeded poridge to her mouth.

In reply to Padma

We usually prepare sweet rice and take to temple and get the pooja done. Due to pandamic we celebrated at home fed baby with sweet rice finely mashed and then started with semi solid ragi malt in silver bowl and spoon(for the first time we feed the baby food in silver spoon and bowl and continue to feed in the same)

My baby's Annaprasannam is delayed due to lockdown, I have prayed that I wil give her 1st food at Temple.

this was very different for us...my mother in law keeps a fast on every puranmashi and prepares aate ka halwa as prashad...so my son started shouting that he wants to eat halwa and so that very day we made him taste food for first time in front of god in her dadis laps
