belle- I am also work and my working hours is similar to yours. What you can do is bhoono the sooji is a pan till it becomes golden brown and keep it a air tight container. Now when you are making it just take like 2-3 table spoons of sooji and cook it in a saucepan and add little water , you can add a little sugar just a little to make it yummy. Cook for 5-7 mins add water till it comes to the desired consistency. You can use milk instead of water too.
Otherwise just use the boxed cerelac. They are healthy and safe and there is absolutely nothing wrong in using them.
I also give grip water to my daughter when needed I don’t give it to her everyday.
you are a good mom because you are concerned that is why you came here.
belle honey pls dun ever think ure a bad mother.. if that was the case then i m the worst mother in the world!!!!!!! there have been a zillion times i ignored her or was late in givin her milk and food. infact, admittedly, majority of the times it happens! i m not workin but i m a lazy bum.... i know i shud give her high priority since i m a housewife.. but my baby is such.. she is v v demandin and sleeps as she wills... and that too not non stop.. so i love my sleep. whenever she sleeps i sleep (except for in evenings) so i dun do any house work till my hubs comes home!! i hope my story makes u feel better :) no one is a bad mother. sometimes we are selfish about our own needs.. and thaz only human! hugs
