You can cook rice water in two ways - from rice flour, and also from rice groats.

For the decoction of flour you need to take:

• Teaspoon of rice flour;
• Glass of water.

To obtain rice flour, you can grind rice grains with a coffee grinder. Water is heated to a boil, flour is poured into it and stirred well, so that there are no lumps (you can use a mixer). After boiling for five minutes, the broth must be cooled so that the liquid is at room temperature.

For broth from the cereal will need:

• 150 grams of rice, which is well boiled soft (it is better to take round rice and pre-insist it in water for 12 hours);
• 1.5 liters of water.

The washed rice is poured with cool water, and when the water boils, the fire is reduced as much as possible, the pan is covered with a lid and the cereal is boiled for 30 minutes. If the water is strong to boil, it can be topped up to the original volume. Salt decoction is not necessary, as well as adding sugar.

If the grains are not completely boiled soft, then the mixture can be whipped in a blender to a thick uniform consistency (you can beat the batches in portions per drink). Next, the fluid must be filtered. The broth should be given chilled to room temperature.

Apply a decoction of rice can be at any age. If the liquid is given to the baby, you can use a bottle with a nipple. It is best to give a teaspoon liquid every five minutes. So he gets into the body of the child, even in case of bouts of vomiting.

If the baby refuses to spoon and bottle, try to give a decoction of a syringe without a needle.

The child does not need to give at once a lot of rice broth. At one time they give a crumb of 5-10 ml. Just a day a child is given 50-100 ml, depending on the age of the baby. At the same time it should not be mixed with other food, it is given independently.

On the day of rice decoction give 4-7 times or more. Once the child's condition has improved, it is no longer necessary to give it, so as not to cause constipation.
