A. You can restrict instant foods like cerelac for busy days or travel times. On regular basis u can give the above mentioned foods. It is recommended not to give packet milk or cows milk or any other animal milk until baby is one year old. It will be harsh for the baby's still developing digestive system. If u cannot breastfeed due to various reasons you can consult with your pediatrician and start formula for your baby.
