    Notes :
    • For small babies, add more water and give as a runny porridge.
    • When selecting apples, choose sweet tasting apples. Choose apples that are firm and discoloured. Choose small & sweet tasting banana for making this porridge.
    • Make sure to cook barley thoroughly.
    • Always consume barley in moderation as it has excess fiber.
    • Some sources say barley cause cold in babies. But my baby never got cold when I give her barley.So check with your baby's doctor on this.
    • Generally barley doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any. If your family has history of allergy to gluten foods, avoid barley to your baby until 1 year.
    • Always check with your paediatrician before introducing any new food.
