Ragi can be given to

to mother's milk they can be fed a diluted Ragi Soup.
Babies become healthy and chubby by drinking
Ragi soup.
Ingredients
Ragi
water / milk
sugar
Procedure
Wash Ragi seven times. For
babies' food it is absolutely necessary to
wash it seven times.
Dry it in the shade.
Powder it in a mixer grinder.
Make a fine powder.
Sieve it through a muslin cloth.
[Tie a muslin cloth to a container, not too
tightly, pour the powder on it little by little. Collect the
powder in the container that has passed through the cloth. It
will be finer than the powder that remains on the cloth. The
powder that remains on the cloth cannot be used for babies. It
can be used for adults.]
Take a table spoon of this powder in a
glass, add a little water to make a paste without lumps. Then
add a glass of water or milk and make a thin solution.
Heat this solution on low fire. Bring it to
a boil. Keep stirring. As you keep boiling and stirring, the
colour of the solution will change slightly. That is the
indication, it is done.
Add a spoonful of sugar and keep it aside
for cooling. Feed the baby when the soluton is lukewarm and
just right for the baby to drink. You can test
how hot the soup is by pouring a drop on the back of your
hand.
This can be given to the
baby 4 times a day. Initially you can
begin with a thin solution and slowly increase the thickness fo
the soup as the baby grows up and gets used to it.
When the baby is about 10
months old, broken rice can be added to this (two spoons ragi
and one spoon rice) and the solution can be boiled and stirred
till it turns semi solid.
You can add Rasam {link} to this and feed
the child. To begin with just take a tiny bit
of the Ragi delicacy with your forefinger and let the
child taste it with the tip of its tongue.
Gradually increase the amount you pick up
and feed the baby small pellets. But remember
that this SHOULD NOT be given more than once a day. Feed the
baby only once a day with this Ragi
Delicacy.
Ragi Soup will make your
baby grow chubby and healthy
