<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My swetty is now 5 months ...doctor has suggested to start with cerelac ricestage one one scoop daily morning...From last 2 weeks we are trying..but seems she is not interested in it..just want to know if this is the case with others also..how to make the cerelac eating interesting..please suggest ..  <response>: Dear friend its not compulsory to give Carla... instead you can start homemade food for baby... make rice and DAL that is watery initially for a month... then increase its thickness... initially child will not take it more than one or two spoons at each meal... but remember yes it is absolutely necessary to start complimentary feeding at 5-6 months age but dont stop Brest milk... so its OK if baby dont take Carla... visit nearest pediatrician to ask about preparation of infant feed at home... in fact homemade feed is much better than any ready made infant complimentary feed...
