AartiMom of a 9 yr 10 m old boy8 years agoA. I think you should not give him anything else other than formula milk till six months... also weight is OK sitting his health conditions... so don't be in hurry to feed him before six months.. as it may disturb his digestion more....start semi solids. post six months. and feed on home cooked meals... at that time...avoid cerelac etc
