- Sterilize the bowls and spoons used to feed your baby in a vessel with hot water for five minutes and immerse it in the same container until use.
- Never introduce more than 1 food at a time when introducing solids to your baby. Follow 3 days wait for rule(3 days wait for the rule is a simple way to check possible allergic reactions, including skin rashes, tummy troubles like gas or diarrhea or vomiting, and poop troubles to new foods offered to your baby. Introduce new food at a space of 3 days apart).
- Check for allergy symptoms when introducing new food to your baby, and stop feeding you if you find any symptoms.
- Any sweetener( if the recipe calls for it), like jaggery, Palm jaggery, etc., can be avoided for one year. Instead, sweet-tasting vegetables or fruits can be preferred.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
- Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using an Idli pot or steamer.
- Skip cow's milk if your baby is under a year old, and use breastmilk or formula instead. Add breastmilk or formula to baby food once it's cooled down.

Hi is it necessary to store all cerelac n ragi and powders in the fridge or I can store outside as well..? N for how long can I keep outside ...?
gkfooddiary
It depends on the weather. The place you live is too humid, then you should store them in refrigerator.
Mayurika Pal
I'm in mumbai

If the temperature is above 28 degrees then you have to keep them in refrigerator otherwise it will get spoiled soon
