Semolina / Soji porridge

Soji / semolina porridge Soji or semolina porridge is also a good feed for babies. We introduced soji porridge when Kiele was around three and a half to four months. I resumed work during that time and the doctor had suggested not to give tin stuff for baby. Try as much as possible to avoid tin food and give her only home made food. We do give her formula milk at least twice a day – during the day we give baby either soji / semolina porridge or nachni porridge as mentioned in my earlier posting. Soji porridge is simple and fast to cook and we carry it with us while traveling etc.. Method of preparing is very simple just add soji, milk, sugar and little water and keep it on fire – keep stirring till done to avoid formation of lumps. Baby as of now enjoys eating it – her taste / likes changes. She has this habit of leaving little in her bottle we do not force her coz I feel the child will eat as much as she needs to. We should not force babies to eat hence we don’t mind it going waste. My advice to you mums and would be mums – do give your baby at least one feed of soji / semolina porridge – its very good. Your baby will also enjoy this wonderful feed.

Methi Ladoo

This message is to all my friends who are pregnant and to would be mums.
After delivery you will have to take care of your health. Eat good food,
which is very important to keep your baby healthy as well as yourself.

Eat methi ladoos for good milk production. I had arranged to get them
made from some maharahtrian lady, it was very nice. The methi ladoos that
are available in the shop are too bitter and has absolutely no taste. My
hubby had bought them but I just couldn't eat it. My friend suggested that
we arrange to get them home made. One should not skip these ladoos.

I am giving below the ingredients involved - you may kindly arrange for
someone to make it.
Pure ghee / Cashew nuts / almonds / dink / kharik / jaggery / dried coconut
/ methi / til / khuskhus / charoli / kismish / wheat and oil. These are
the ingredients required to make the ladoos.

I used to eat them regularly in the morning without fail. Since I was told
by all my neighbours and friends the importance of these ladoos, hence
didn't skip any day without eating this nutritious methi ladoos.

Secondly nachni / ragi also is very good you may refer my below posting on
