    Sprouted Ragi Porridge For Babies

    Ragi is super healthy food for babies and growing children as it is loaded with essential nutrients and minerals. Many pediatricians suggest introducing ragi as a first food to the baby from 6 months. Homemade Sprouted Ragi Powder is the best choice for small babies as store bought ragi may be contaminated, which results in allergy or loose motion in babies.

    Now Let's check how to make this simple ragi porridge for babies & toddlers with sprouted ragi flour.

    Notes :
    • Feed more water to the baby when giving ragi. Otherwise, it might cause constipation.
    • You can add formula milk once the porridge is warm.
    • Make sure to cook the ragi thoroughly before serving to baby. If it is undercooked, it may cause loose motion.
    • For babies above one year, you can use cows milk instead of water.
    • Generally, homemade ragi powder doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
