Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for your question.
Yes you can change to nan 2 formula as he is 6 months old now. Home made recipes can include rice porridge, smashed dal and vegetables like carrots, potatos, fruits like banana, papaya. I would suggest you to start with small quantities and look for symptoms of indigestion or allergies like rashes, vomiting and loose stools. Avoid foods that tend to cause allergies like honey, egg, groundnuts. Yes you can use cerelac according to the stages.
I hope this answers your query. Good luck.
With best regards,
