Pediatrician, Dr. Rushikesh Kute's Response

Thank you for asking querry.
First can i know the weight gain pattern of the child, means whats the birth weight and current weight?
How much weight he is gaining in a month?
If he is gaining enough weight,passing stool 6 times and urine 10-12 times and playful and active,then there is no need to give cerelac .
Continu breastfeeding till 6 months of age and start complementery feeds after 6 months.
Hope you find this helpful.
