Is Feeding Cerelac Advisable For My 9 Month Old Daughter?
Hello, my daughter is 9 month old and is always breastfed. She doesn t like to eat anything. I have to force her everytime. So I wanted to try cerelac or any other supplements. But her pediatrician says no to readymade food. Should I go against the doctor and give her cerelac? I am worried that if it upsets her health I can t lie to the doctor. Please help me with it. Thank you

Hello,
Every doctor will advise against ready-made food for infants because the children need breast milk as well as natural food. If you talk to your elders, they should also provide the same advise. Naturally, because children are averse to food, you have to be patient and force her step by step to eat. An eating behavior will form.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
