A. hi...try giving home made cerelac rather than packaged cerelac that is available in the market.. if cerelac is home made then it is fine, also do not give your baby everyday as baby also need variety as we adults do. So in a day once you can give one made cerelac , in the afternoon you may give fruit puree and in the evening you may give dal khichdi. home made cerelac Ingredients: Brown rice –1 cup Ragi – 1 cup Horsegram – ½ cup Masoor dal – ½ cup Moong dal – ½ Cup Almonds – ½ cup Elaichi – 8-10 pods Method: Ragi/ Nachni, horse gram, masoor dal, and moong dal can be soaked overnight separately in different containers.Then tie the grains in a soft cotton cloth separately and keep them aside at a dry place.Dry each sprouted grain in the Sun for a day.Roast brown rice, ragi/ nachni, horse gram, masoor dal, moong dal, almonds and elaichi in a clean and dry non-stick vessel separately. Make sure each ingredient is roasted on a medium-low flame to ensure that its cooked well from the inside and not just outside. Once roasted, the colour becomes darker. Keep aside to cool.Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender (grinder). Make sure that the mixture turns into a fine powder.Allow it to cool.Transfer the powdered mixture into an airtight container. Add 2 tablespoons of this powder to 1 cup of water.Keep stirring to prevent the formation of lumps.You can add jaggery (gur) or salt to the porridge.
