What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Cerelac Baby Food?
Assalamoalaikum. My baby is 10 months old now. I ve been asked by my mother to give him cerelac but the baby s pedea recommended not to use cerelac instead to go for home made food. I just want to know whether cerelac is harmful for my baby or is it ok to give it once (before sleeping) or twice a day (in breakfast and before sleeping) ?

Cerelac is not harmful for your child. It is only not as nutritive as home made food can be. I would simply affirm that your pediatrician has told you the right thing although there is no problem if you give it a few times. Your child needs basically the mashed version of adult food low on spices. You can choose the diet based on your convenience keeping the nutritive values in account.
