Good evening!!
Fluid -water intake is very low in younger children particularly in winter.
So please be assured about it.
You can use but it's better you give home made cereals, pulses receipies.
Millet,Ragi can cause constipation so along with it give lots of fluid, fruits and veggies.
Light blood with hard stool is due to constipation only.
