Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cerelac is good upto certain age.
After 1 year, child needs additional nutrients from fruits, vegetables, grains etc.
So along with Cerelac, you should also start mashed vegetables, fruits, grains etc for additional nutritional demands.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
