Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
At this age you need to continue breastfeeding and start complementary feeds like cerelac or rice gruel or boiled vegetables.
You can give 3\2 feeds per day of cerelac.
Biscuits should be plain like XXXXXXX one per day is maximum.
Do start boiled vegetables and boiled apple atleast once every day.
Next month increase by one feed and so on.
Gradually decrease breastfeeding and keep it going upto 1.5 to 2 years.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
