Cerelac emerges as a top choice to begin your baby's culinary journey—a wholesome option free from preservatives, effortlessly prepared in your own kitchen. Let's explore how to create nutritious baby cereal for your six-month-old while sharing invaluable parenting tips.

Why Homemade Cerelac?

There are numerous benefits to selecting homemade Cerelac

  • Nutritional Control

  • Free from Additives

  • Value for money

Items Required for the Recipe

To make Cerelac at home, you will require a few basic ingredients that you can easily find.

  • A cup of rice is an easily digestible carbohydrate for infants. 

  • Half a cup of moong dal, also known as split lentils, is a source of both protein and iron. 

  • Adding a handful of almonds ( 10 pieces or so) not only provides a good source of healthy fats and essential nutrients to your diet but also adds a delightful crunch to your snack or meal!

  • Half a cup of grams adds protein and fibre to your diet. 

Stepwise Guidance

  1. Step 1: Roast the Ingredients

    Roast rice and moong dal separately in a dry pan over heat till they turn a light golden brown colour. It not only imparts a nice flavour but also makes it easy to grind and digest. Similarly, roast almonds and roasted gram over low heat until crispy without burning them.

  2. Step 2: Grind to a Fine Powder

    Let cool completely after roasting all ingredients. Now, use a food processor or blender to grind each ingredient into a fine powder. Make sure that no lumps are formed because only smooth textures would be needed by babies' beginning solids, as it's easy to feed them.

  3. Step 3: Store the Powder

    Keep grinding and storing the Cerelac powder in an airtight container. This powder can be kept for about a month in a cool, dry place without drying out or losing its nutritional value because it has been prepared at home.

How to Cook Homemade Cerelac

When it's time to feed your baby, you can easily prepare fresh Cerelac:

  • Take 2 tablespoons of the homemade Cerelac powder.

  • Mix it with 1 cup of water or milk (breast milk or formula for added nutrition).

  • Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

  • Cook until it reaches a smooth, porridge-like consistency.

  • Allow it to cool before feeding your baby.

This simple cooking method ensures that your little one enjoys a nutritious meal that's tailored to their needs.

Additional Tips for Feeding Your Baby

  • You can add mashed fruits like banana or apple to the Cerelac for added flavour and nutrients.

  • Always make sure the Cerelac has cooled down to room temperature before feeding.

  • If your baby prefers a different texture, you can adjust the water or milk to make it thicker or thinner.

To Wrap Up

Homemade Cerelac is a nutritious and easy-to-make option for your baby’s first solid foods. Whether you're a single mom balancing multiple tasks or a foster parent trying to ensure the best for your little one, this recipe is both convenient and packed with essential nutrients. By following these parenting tips, you can give your baby a healthy, balanced meal, setting the foundation for their growth and development.

"Just as homemade Cerelac ensures your child receives wholesome and tailored nutrition, term insurance provides a protective layer for your family's financial future, offering peace of mind and security for life's uncertainties."
