A. Yes, you can feed Ragi Java (Ragi Porridge) to your 8-month-old baby, as ragi (finger millet) is highly nutritious and easy to digest. It is rich in calcium, iron, fiber, and protein, making it an excellent food for growing babies. ✅ Benefits of Ragi Java for Babies ✔️ High in calcium – Helps in bone and teeth development. ✔️ Rich in iron – Prevents anemia. ✔️ Easily digestible – Gentle on the stomach. ✔️ Good for weight gain – Nutritious and energy-boosting. 🍼 How to Prepare Ragi Java for an 8-Month-Old? Ingredients: 🔹 2 tbsp ragi flour (homemade or store-bought). 🔹 1 cup water/milk (for babies below 1 year, use water or formula; avoid cow’s milk). 🔹 1 tsp ghee (optional, for energy). 🔹 Jaggery or dates puree for natural sweetness (optional). Steps: 1️⃣ Mix ragi flour with a little water to make a smooth paste. 2️⃣ Heat the remaining water in a pan and add the ragi paste, stirring continuously. 3️⃣ Cook on low flame for 5-7 minutes until thick and shiny. 4️⃣ Add ghee and mix well. 5️⃣ Once cooled, feed the baby. 🔹 Alternative: You can add mashed banana or apple puree for extra nutrition. ⚠️ Precautions: 🚫 Introduce only after 6 months, and always follow the 3-day rule to check for allergies. 🚫 Avoid sugar and salt before 1 year. 🚫 If using jaggery, use it in very small amounts. 🚫 Ensure the porridge is well-cooked to avoid indigestion.
