Pediatrician,  's  Response
dear frend its not compulsory to give cerelac... instead you can start home made food for baby... make rice and dal that is watery initially for a month... then increase its thickness... initially child will not take it more than one or two spoons at each meal... but remember yes it is absolutely necessary to start complimentary feeding at 5-6 months age but don't stop Brest milk... so its OK if baby don't take cerelak... visit nearest pediatrician to ask about preparation of infant feed at home... in fact home made feed is much better than any readymade infant complimentary feed...
