You have to stop giving him cerelac and try it after two or three monthes ,if your baby is breast Fed ,give him nothing except breast milk till he is six monthes .
When he completes his six month you can try giving him fresh fruit or vegetables boiled and mashed ,try one type every week to notice any allergic reaction that may happen .
