Why Is My Baby Not Eating Anything Other Than Cerelac?
Hello
My daughter os 8 mnths old. I started giving her solids when she was 5 mnths old. I started with cerelac and she loved it and since then she eats nothing but cerelac or baby food by cow and gate. Ive tried so many home made recipes but she likes nothing amd eats cerelac only. Is it healthy enough for her to eat cerelac only twice a day? She drinks around 18 ounces of milk and 2 servings of cerelac everyday. Is it good enough?
Plz do reply im really worried

This reflects the baby's learned choice. To remedy this, you have to make her unlearn her choice by adding small amounts of salt to her Cerelac feeds till she gets used to a salty taste.
The other option would be to stop Cerelac completely and get her off it. In those two days or so, you should sustain her on milk alone.
A third option is to make food that is completely bland and then gradually build up on her spice intake.
Try it, no harm in any of these options.
Take care, and revert if you need detailed advice.
