Is Ceralac Safe For 6 Month Old?

I have a 6 months old baby and we started solid food but he doesn t seem it like it. We started with potato, carrots and sweet potatoes. He doesn t seem to get use to eating. I want to start with cerelac but is it good? How can I create an alternative for cerelac at home?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. The process of introducing solids into the diet from exclusive breast feeding (or at times formula feed) is called weaning. Do not worry if the child does not like it initially. It is a new taste that he is not yet familiar with. You have correctly started with potato, carrots and sweet potatoes but also include some cereals like boiled rice and pulses. You may also give cerelac (wheat or rice). Do not worry as they are safe for your baby.

The best alternative that you may provide at home is making a khichdi sort of thing by mixing the cereals, vegetables and boiling them and mashing them up.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
