Wheat Porridge recipe for babies

Wheat is one of the grains that is very healthy and used by all. There are so many dishes we can make from wheat. Its easily digestible, we can eat wheat regularly.

But when we talk about our little ones, it is different. Because babies are not use to these foods. Some time is quite possible to react after consuming wheat.

When babies are 6-8 months we introduce them with solid food. Wheat is easy to digest and healthy as well.

But at the time to introduce it is good to first introducing with fruits (apple, banana, papaya) and vegetables (potato, carrot).

Mean time also continue your breast milk at least one year.

While introducing new foods keep close notice if any kind of allergic reaction after giving new food then stop it immediately.

Wheat based porridge is an easy way to introduce food as well as safe and healthy too.

You can use cow milk as it very easy to digest. As my kids are allergic to cow milk. So, I never used in any recipe. Lets get start.
