Please avoid packaged food like cerelac. They are not as beneficial as home cooked fresh food. Give khichdi, mashed potato, sheera, upma, idli, fruits, mix green vegetables in dal rice.  Type baby food recipes 6 months india in google and you will get many options. Websites like Tarla dalal give many recipes

No Cerelac. After all a chemical. Better to start with homemade food and fruits. Complementary feeds is all about fixed routine. Know more by taking a consult.
