Millet
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Mix cooked millet into soft, scoopable foods like mashed vegetables, raita, or yogurt to bind the small grains.
Always bound into a soft scoopable. Loose grains are messy but safe at this age.

Serve cooked millet on its own or in dosa, fritters, idli, meatballs, or pancakes broken into bite-sized pieces.
Press grains with the back of a fork to clump. Bite-sized patty pieces.
12-18 months
Serve cooked millet alongside savory sauces, stews, or stir-fries. Press it with a fork to clump and pair with a spoon.
Pressed grains or paired with sauce. Spoon practice encouraged.
