Hello,
It is advised to feed the baby exclusively breast milk for initial 6 months. In your case as your pediatrician has suggested some formula milk depending on current condition you should use it as per the advice. Cerelac like products should be started after 6 complete months by the baby.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
