hi.. better start with a fruit like banana or apple.. gradually increase the quantity.. e.g .. try to give one spoon of banana daily for 1 week.. 2 week 2 spoon.. by the end of month.. you can give full banana.. same way add another fruit like apple, mango, sapota ect.. don't add two fruits at a time..
start giving 6am .. one egg with glass milk
8am.. smashed boiled potatoes or carrots
10 am banana or apple
12 pm.. 1 cup rice with 1/2 cup dal with ghee. add curd.. try to add leafy vegetables daily
4pm.. glass of milk with biscuits
7pm.. 1 cup rice with veg or non veg curry and curd
10pm.. glass of milk.
follow this schedule.. you will see better improvement in your kid..

gradually decrease to cerelac feeds
