I remember during my college days , Amma used to give us ragi porridge . Yes those morning hours , when I used to rush to college skipping breakfast , she used to offer me a glass of ragi porridge in thin watery consistency so that I could drink and run. Times changed , now I am making ragi porridge for my daughter , though not in watery consistency. Ragi was started by me from Anshika’s 8th month . I was introduced to Manna Ragi Rich Powder then.

Hi sangeetha,
I’m from chennai. Have been following your site it’s very helpful.. keep up the good work. My 7 months old son never takes rice or dal porridge. Since I Workingnot able to feed BM during day time.. I am thinking of starting this manna raagi mix now. What would you suggest other than this for his health… Note he already takes appLe pumpkin banana carrots and occasionally avacado all this in puree form… Thank you
Samaya, give him any foods that he accepts. No force feeding is required though. If he doesn’t take rice or dal its completely fine. Use wheat products or other flours when he reaches 8 months.
Hi Sangeetha,
From 2 days onwards, I am feeding one spoon of Manna Ragi to my 6 months daughter.
Her motion is very hard.
Shall I continue with that or not ?
Please advice me .
Thanks in advance 🙂
Shall i gv my 6.5 months old son manna mix??hv u ny idea whr to get in singapore??
I am not sure about its availability in Singapore. Manna mix you can start from 8th month if its devoid of nuts.
Hi Sangeetha,
Do we have Wheat powder in Manna?
I have a 6 months baby and I want to feed wheat.
Please suggest me.
Deepu, I am not sure if Manna has wheat products. You may check in their store. Can you pls start broken wheat porridge for your 6 month old without milk? Starting wheat might cause constipation, Hence its ideal to start with rice as the first food. You can check the link here: https://bumpsnbaby.com/broken-wheat-porridge-babies-kids-2/
Hi, My son is Pre mature baby, 1.3KG . He had Heart hole in PDA. We did surgery at 7 Months.that time baby weight was 3KG. After Surgery. Now he is 5KG. last 1month his weight is not increasing.
only 150 gm increased.
will you pls advise.
Debashish,
Babies do have constant weight for 3-4 months which is known as failure to thrive. Its completely normal as they start putting on weight after a particular time. Dont worry, keep providing food and breast milk. His weight will definitely increase.
Hi Sangeetha, have a great time a head.
I have 9 months baby boy, as we plan to add this manna mix in his diet chat.
As of now, I’m giving him a (MMS milk substitution) instead of Mother milk and give Ceralac twice a day.
In noon time, give him a cup of mixture (rice /carrot/dal) in semi liquid form.
Could you please share me, the proper diet chat for 9 months baby, even I’m worrying about his weight.
He is looking lean & his weight is 7+ kg.
Anitha,
Pls refer to this food chart : https://bumpsnbaby.com/food-chart-9-month-old-baby/

Wat shud i do. In allahabad nobody knows abt ragi can u plszzzzz courier it i will pay u. Pls
Dear Sangeetha,
Is Manna raagi mix a instant raagi powder ?
No Veena , its not.. Its just the ragi powder.. You have to cook and give it to your baby.
Hello sangeetha.. how are you? I have a 5months old baby boy. He is totally on formula feed now. From when can I start weaning for him? Shall I start giving him ragi rich from now?
Hi Veena ,
Its always better not to start solids before 6 months of age. You can start with purees and liquids at 5 months that too with the consent of your pediatrician. You can start weaning by 11 months. Ragi rich is better to start from 8th month or so in plain water or formula ..
Hi ma’am,
Ive started following ur website recently…jus to say its very helpful…can u share some breakfast ideas for my 6 month old baby.
Hi teena ,

Hi Teena ,
You can wait for a month or 2 as you could introduce with purees and soups as of now 🙂
ok sangeetha.thank u so much.
but aami is only 10 months.i cant give her whole milk now.
hubby said to wait till 1 year
Please wait till 1 year of her age .. or else it might cause allergies
hiii sageetha
how r u?
whole cream milk means formula milk?or ny other?pls clear this?
i hav read in many articles but couldnt figure it out.
Hi Reshma , am doing good.
No da whole cream milk means whole fat milk that we get from outside , like we get milma milk in packets in kerala.
The whole fat in it helps babies for their fat requirements. Hope you are clear now.
hi Sangeetha.. i have started to give tis ragi mix for my 9 month baby once in a day.. wil tis add his weight.. he is lean . how many times shld i give n ho many spoons .. pls guide.. my son is 6.5kg now birth weight is 2.7.. evryone enquiring abt his weight..im worried
Hi Uma,
Yes Uma this will increase weight if you give it with whole cream milk 🙂 You can give this 2tbsp. once a day.
Uma its common for people to ask about baby’s weight. Please dont get affected by that . If your pediatrician says he is active healthy and weight is fine , no need to worry at all. Please read these articles about weight of babies :
