Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
At 6 months you may diversify the child's feeding.However, introduction of different food items is supposed to be progressive as the child might not always cooperate.Any formula suited for above 6 months will do including cerelac.You will have to give frequently and at regular intervals.The child's weight is not bad for his age though.
Hope this will help
Best regards
