The baby-led weaning Rice Cereal recipe is one of the first foods we introduced to Baby V when he turned 6 months. The rice cereal is called Uggu in Telugu. They are many different varieties of Uggu but this one is the simplest of all and a wonderful introductory solid food for babies.
As a part of Baby-led weaning, I am trying to introduce different varieties of vegetables, fruits, grains, allergens, and pulses. Many BLW articles don’t encourage rice cereal as one of the first foods as it contains traces of arsenic but as a south Indian and vegetarian, rice and dal are a big part of our diet and I want Baby V to enjoy it too. I don’t give him rice cereal every day, It’s one of the foods I offer him along with fruits, veggies, seeds like amaranth, millets, etc. Recipes for those coming soon.

![[AD] I'm back with another awesome gift idea for toddlers or preschoolers! My 3-year-old absolutely loves the Little People Hot Wheels Spiral Speedway by Fisher-Price! Since the day we set it up, it's been his favorite toy, keeping him entertained longer than anything else. It's not just fun—it's also helping with his development by improving motor skills and sparking his imagination.
It took me 15 minutes to set it up, and since it was so colorful, V could assist by finding the parts as per the instructions. The entire set is well-built and super durable, which is a must since my little guy can be pretty tough on toys.
The set comes with 4 exciting stunt tracks—a spiral launcher, a Hot Wheels 360-degree loop, a ring of “fire” jump, and an off-roading course. I especially love that it includes 2 cars, so we can race together, something V enjoys! He also enjoys using the gas pump to refill the cars after a race—such a fun detail!
