Thank you for asking querry.
As per the age of your child you should have started weaning foods.
Start with one food item per week like dalia,purees of carrots,sweet potato.
Continue with breast feeding but also start theses items.
There is no need of giving cerelac as so many natural food available.
Hope you find this helpful.
