This grain the mass of useful properties also practically does not have such which could do harm to a weak organism of the small child.

Instruction
1. Choose grain. It is better if it is the premium and rather light because dark it can be bitterish. Touch buckwheat, remove garbage and a peel. Grain needs to be washed out carefully and to dry up not less carefully.
2. Porridge for the small child needs to be cooked from the processed grain. It is for this purpose more convenient to use the blender. It is possible to be content, of course, and with the coffee grinder. Of course, provided that it clean also does not smell of either coffee, or spices. It is more preferable to buy the separate coffee grinder for grain. The aroma of coffee remains very long, it is pleasant for the adult, but the child likes not be pleasant. Mill buckwheat until it does not begin to be something between semolina and flour — more small than the first, the second is larger. Self-made buckwheat flour is perfectly stored in glass or china therefore nothing terrible happens if suddenly at you it appears more, than you planned.
3. For the baby 1 teaspoon of the processed buckwheat suffices. To weld quite liquid 5% porridge, on this amount of grain 100 ml of water will be required. If you have no measured ware, use make-shifts — a 100-gram pile or a glass with a capacity of 200 g.
4. Pour out the processed buckwheat in the enameled or steel small capacity. Put to cook on slow fire. Do not forget to stir slowly constantly. All process takes 15-20 minutes. At the end it is possible to add a droplet of breast milk or mix, habitual for the kid, if the child is on artificial feeding. According to the same recipe it is possible to prepare also more dense 10% buckwheat cereal. It is enough to take twice more buckwheat, that is 2 teaspoons on the same amount of water. Salt and spices for kids cannot be added to porridge.
5. Approximately from half a year it is possible to give to the child the buckwheat cooked on cow's milk. Milk should not be fat. It is better to choose what is intended especially for small children. Anyway it needs to be parted with water in equal parts. Cook this porridge just as for a feeding up. The consistence depends on as far as your kid already got used to rather dense food.
6. The child of 9 months can sweeten buckwheat a little. Of course, if there is no allergy. Instead of sugar it is possible to use fructose or at once to cook porridge on sweet milk or cream. Usually kids like sweet food, but there are also exceptions so be not surprised if suddenly your child prefers buckwheat without sugar.
7. The kid who has an allergy to sugar should not give this product, of course. But it does not mean at all that he will eat unsweetened porridge all the time. It is possible to find a way out by means of other products which not only are allowed your kid, but also are pleasant to it. It can be fruit purees. The range their rather big, and it is always possible to pick up it which the child will eat with pleasure and without unpleasant consequences.
