Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

Some important points to be noted while feeding the cerelac.
1. Freshly made cerelac to be fed
2. Let the child take its own time to swollow, do not worry of dribbling around the lips and chicks
3. Do not wipe in between
4. It should not be very hot, mild temperature.
5. Once the full feed is over, then gently wipe it with little warm water and dap it.

Generally with all precaution it should not cause any allergy or redness.

Please feel free to consult me if you have any further query.

Your thank you note is very much appreciated!

With best wishes,

Dr. Vishwanath Patil
