Milk porridge for first food

When a child turns 4 months old, many mothers think about introducing complementary foods. Our grandmothers and mothers did not have a variety in this matter - they started with semolina porridge . Now there is an opinion that it is necessary to wait with a manga, as it is poorly absorbed by a child's organism.

With what kind of cereal is better to start lure: with dairy or dairy-free? Experts agree that starting to feed the baby should be from such cereals as rice, buckwheat and corn, and they should be cooked without the addition of milk. Other cereals have gluten in their composition, which is difficult to tolerate by a fragile baby organism.
