Till she turned 6 months old, she has been on a diet of milk only. Breast milk and formula. The formula milk she drinks is Similac Total comfort. Its much expensive than normal powders
Her doctor Dr Suman Rao, who has been seeing her from the time she was born, suggested that, she be started on solid food.
Aadya’s solid food was started by giving her Ragi Sari. So that, she gets the best of nutrition, the ragi for the sari was procured from Hemanth’s uncle Jayaram’s farm. They practice organic farming.
The making of ragi sari is a tedious process. Arpitha’s friend Sushma graciously volunteered to make the sari. The process involves
- Washing and cleaning the ragi thoroughly
- Sprouting the ragi
- Drying the sprouted ragi
- Making a powder of the dried sprouted ragi
- Sieving the powdered ragi through a fine sieve
Once this sari is made, it is prepared by boiling it in hot water,
The first time Aadya was fed ragi sari, it literally blew her mind. She must have gotten bored of all the milk till date.
The doctor has now suggested that she can now be given all types of solid food in mashed form.
Anyhow, it is still a long way to go for her, before she begins non veg food. Can’t wait for her reaction on tasting non veg food.
