Hi...by what you quote this looks like a food allergy to some ingredient in the cerelac you are using. I suggest you stop giving it. Rather than artificial preparations like this I suggest you give only exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age. That's what even the World Health Organization (WHO), recommends. So give only exclusive breast feeding till 6 months age and then we can decide further.
