When Sujan completed 6 months, his annaprashan (first rice ceremony) was organized at the Anganwadi Centre and he was fed with kheeri. Mitali was told now to start feeding the child with complementary foods. Mitali started feeding him chatua mixing with water (gruel made from cereals). During this time, feeding demonstration sessions were started at the Anganwadi Centres. Mitali started attending these sessions. At one such session, Mitali with the help of AWW, cooked Chatua Kheeri by adding jaggery, iodized salt, milk, oil and ripe banana and papaya. She realized that it was very different from what she was giving to Sujan at home as it was thicker and contained many more ingredients. She asked the AWW about the reason for giving thick porridge and mixing fruits. She was counselled that the child needs more variety of foods with correct consistency for proper physical growth and brain development.
