This Homemade Instant Cerelac can be started once the baby starts 5 months(Check my notes).This is very handy during travel if you want to feed homemade cerelac for your baby.I am regularly feeding this for gugu but he likes it with salt than with jaggery but trust me with jaggery it tastes soo good that I myself liked it so much and licked the extras ;).I usually make it as porridge heating and cooking for sometime but during travel I just add it to hot water and mix it.
