POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. You can start Cerelac or any other solid foods, including infant cereals, around 6 months of age. This is when most babies are ready to begin eating solid foods alongside breast milk or formula.
Here are some key points to keep in mind when introducing Cerelac or solids:
1. Signs of Readiness:
Your baby can sit up with support.
They show interest in food (watching you eat, opening their mouth when food is offered).
They can hold their head up steadily.
They have lost the tongue-thrust reflex (they don't push food out of their mouth automatically).
2. Types of Cerelac:
Start with single-grain cereals like rice or oats mixed with breast milk or formula.
Begin with small amounts (1-2 teaspoons) and gradually increase as your baby gets used to the texture.
3. Breast Milk/Formula Continuation: Even after introducing Cerelac, continue breastfeeding or formula feeding as the primary source of nutrition until at least 12 months of age.
Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing any new foods to ensure your baby is ready and to address any specific needs or concerns.
