Its not advisable before 6 months of age
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
It's not advisable to start any complementary feeds such as cerelac before 6 months of age.
There after you may start with complementary feeds along with milk. I would advise you to go for homemade feeds as far as possible. You may give cerelac stage 1 in case required. Introduce 1 type at a time to check for acceptance, tolerance and allergies.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
