No urine output for more than 6 hours is significant. Complementary feeds best after 6 months but if there is problem with breast milk insufficiency you can start on stewed apple and carrot purees or formula feeds rather than cerelac..

Complementary feeding must be stated after 6 months only. Not passing urine for 4 hours is ok.
Next Steps
Do not give cereals. Continue breast feeds
