This Whole Wheat Porridge can be started once the baby completes 6 months.We usually start with ragi porridge made with extracted ragi milk as in this post, you can try this porridge too as its highly nutritious.I still remember the day when I first introduced this porridge to gugu,he had a smiling face as he loved this porridge a lot.Do try this for your baby.

If your baby is allergic to wheat then take your doctors advice before introducing wheat.

I usually feed this koozh with jaggery syrup or karupatti syrup.

But remember mothers feed is the best and its always good to start with other food only after the baby finishes 6 months.Always consult your paediatrician before introducing any new food.
