Finger millet (ragi) is very high in calcium, rich in iron and fibre, and has a better energy content than other cereals. These characteristics make it ideal for feeding to infants and the elderly. Its causes constipation if not cooked well. More over please make your baby do cycling like motion, allow him to drink water. he will pass stool easily.
