What Is The Right Way To Mix Cerelac To Babies?

Hello...I have started feeding cerelac to my 6 months old baby. The proportion mentioned on the box is 1 scoop with 25 ml water, however, I am adding a lot more water to make it liquidy and easy for her to digest, Please let me know if this is the right this to do.

thanks for the query
The proprtion mentioned on the box is only a rough guideline.
adding a lot more water will make your child getting less food at one time .
you can even mix cerelac in milk instead of water if you find your baby is more keen to take .
The amount of milk added in cerelac again should just be the minimum, your baby is happy to take, as the purpose is to give him semisolid non milk food .
I hope you get the purpose of adding water in cerelac (to make it palatable but still not compromising with the nutritional density of food)
