Is Breast Milk And Cerelac Enough To Provide Nutrients To The Baby?

I am a working mother and have 1 year old daughter. I have very less time which I can devote to my kid to eat something solid. Her daily Diet is-Morning she is fed breastmilk whenever she needs Till 9, 9 o clock i give her 2 scoops of cerelac-wheat+mixed fruits, then she takes formula milk every 2 hrs Afternoon-2.30-again cerelac formula milk till 5 2 buiscuits in milk at 6-6.30 or custard @ 7-breastmilk Lentils soup and lil bread at 9 again cerelac if she has not taken dinner properly breastmilk till 9 in morning Is this Diet plan bad for her? She is very skiny but tall She hasn t started walking but crawls and moves by holding furniture, she seems to be active. Her weight is 8.5 kg. I am trying to introduce variety in her diet but she doesn t like to chew and doesn t take solid foods easily. Please let me know if she should be getting anything else. Is breastmilk and cerelac good enough to provide her nutrients

Hi.... breast milk and Cerelac alone will not provide her all the nutrients which are required for a 1 year old child.

I suggest but you introduce her with all the cereals and rice and pulses with you take regularly at home. The concept of feeding a child after 1 year of age is called family pot feeding, which means that any child above 1 year of age should be fed the same food which is being cooked for elders at home
