You can use natural food for weaning instead of cerelac. Change in stools is expected given that weaning has started. Reason for refusing breastfeeding can be baby's bottle feeding, it is easier for a baby to feed on bottle than breast. You can stop cow's milk. Refer to IAP complementary feeding guidelines for parents for more information.
Next Steps
Crawling may take time. She should be able to sit with support
