Homemade Cerelac would be better compared to outside Cerelac. outside food / weaning / complementary is started after 6 months of ahe of the child. at the end of 6 months you have to start gradually all types of food to which the child is not allergic and does not have digestion problem as well as the child is able to swallow the food. cereals pulses vegetable gradually from few spoons per day(cereals pulses vegetable) you have to shift to half katori (100ml) three times per day till 9 months of age. fruits from six months to nine months you have to give few 2 pieces of fruit and then shift to half a katori 2 times per day. if breastfeeding is going on you can continue at regular interval. and if you are giving outside milk then it should be around 700 to 800 ml per day. homemade food is better compared to outside packet foods and processed foods

Homemade food is always better to start with and preferably one at a time. After 6 months of age apart from breastfeeding You have to start complementary feeding. Start with fruit purees, mashed vegetables, semisolid foods like daal, khichdi daliya, halwa. Give 2-3 feeds per day, approx half katori (6 spoons per meal). Please avoid sugar, salt and spices.Start new food in day time so that if any allergies you can react apppropriately.
