Preparing Porridge for Weaning Babies Using WiwoMills Flour | Wiwo Mills Tanzania

🍼 What Is Weaning?
Weaning is the gradual introduction of solid foods alongside breastfeeding, usually starting from 6 months of age. Porridge is often chosen because it is:
Soft and easy to swallow
Nutritious and filling
Gentle on baby’s stomach
