Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query
As your baby is 5.75 months only and she is already taking 2 semisolid meals which i feel is quiet sufficient to start with.
At the most you can add fresh fruits (banana /cheeku/mango) in mashed form.
Please do not get anxious about her dietay intake, because she still needs a good amount of milk as her main food, presently.
After a month or so you can add another semisolid meal (mashed khichri/cerelac/boiled potato).
cerelac do es not cause any such thing like phlegm or for that matter no food
item will have any such effect.
