Why Porridge for Babies?

Babies who have started weaning love to lick porridge. It is a smooth and soft textured purée. Weaning is an experimentation time for babies – in terms of flavours, textures and colours. The base of most porridge is a flour, which serves as a source of energy and nutrients like fiber, calcium, iron etc. for your tiny growing tots. The flour is sautéed in ghee usually. This too serves as a source of energy. Moreover it helps in bone development, brain development, nourishes the skin and aids in digestion too. All you need to remember is to not add sugar to the porridge, as this habit of sweet tooth stays with them lifelong then.
