The nutrition of the child, especially in the first months of life, must be subject to the rules and restrictions, without which the formation of a healthy and strong body is impossible.
Strict dietary regulation applies not only to the amount of food consumed, but also to its variety. In this part, we will talk about the rules for including dairy and dairy-free cereals in the diet.
It should be noted that it is better to start feeding porridges closer to the six-month-old age of the baby. This is the period when he already knows what vegetable and fruit purees are, so dairy-free cereals or with the addition of milk will not become a burden for the baby. His first cereal should be rice, as it is easily digested and does not cause allergic reactions of the body. Then, every seven days, the diet can be diversified by introducing new types of cereals: buckwheat, oats and others. To improve their taste, at this age it is already allowed to add butter or vegetable oil, and you can also cook with the addition of milk. It is better to start porridge feeding with small portions, gradually increasing them. So, by the end of six months of age, its amount should reach one hundred and fifty grams.
With the growth of the child, his menu also changes, so dairy-free cereals are gradually supplemented with new foods.
Let's dwell on porridges in more detail and learn how to cook milk-free and baby milk porridges.
The first recipe will be rice porridge in milk.
To prepare it you will need: thirty grams of rice, five grams of butter, one hundred and fifty grams of milk, two hundred grams of water, ten grams of sugar syrup, three grams of salt.
First you need to thoroughly rinse the rice, pour it into the pan and pour the indicated amount of cold water. Put it on a small fire for forty-five minutes until fully cooked.
Wipe the prepared rice, pour hot, but not boiled milk, mix and wipe again to get a homogeneous mass.
Sugar syrup should be poured into the mixture, add the indicated amount of salt and put on the ring again for a couple of minutes.
Season the prepared rice porridge with butter and mix thoroughly. For aroma and a more pronounced taste, you can add a mashed apple.
Dairy-free cereal for children is also the basis of the baby’s diet. Therefore, the second recipe is buckwheat porridge with butter.
For cooking you will need: one hundred grams of buckwheat, two hundred grams of water, forty grams of butter, ten grams of salt.
For starters, rinse buckwheat several times until the water becomes clear.
Put a pot of water on a small fire, salt and boil it. As soon as the water boils, pour the cereal. Leave to cook for about twenty minutes, do not forget to stir so that the porridge does not burn.

Dairy-free cereals can be prepared not only using buckwheat. We offer a second recipe for cereal without the use of milk - oatmeal on a decoction of fruits.
For cooking you will need: thirty grams of oatmeal, three hundred grams of fruit broth, forty grams of butter, any jam or cinnamon.
First, put a decoction of fruits on a small fire. He must boil.
While the broth is on the burner, it is necessary to grind oatmeal. You can use a coffee grinder for this.
As the liquid begins to boil, very carefully add the crushed flakes to the pan and mix to make the mixture homogeneous. Then cover and leave on low heat for ten minutes until the cereal is ready.
After the specified time, remove from heat, add butter, jam or cinnamon, mix thoroughly and leave it in an open state to insist and cool slightly.
Fruit decoctions, which replace milk, are easy to prepare.
