My son is 7 months I started cerelac when he completed his 6 month and side by side is on breast milk. Now I want to increase his diet before I used to give him 2scoops of cerelac 2 times/ day can I give him 3scoops how many times a day and other food also prescribed me to include in his diet including which biscuits too
Give the child a rice based diet prepared by boiling together with pulses and vegetables and then mashing them up. You may add chicken and eggs but in mashed form. You may give fruits in grated or mashed form - no need to boil them. Biscuits or other cereal based foods may be given in mashed or softened form. Gradually increase the frequency of such foods to 6-8 times a day. I would not comment on the amount. You can gradually increase it to 8-12 ounces per meal. These items are more nutritive than formula like Carla, and so I would not prefer Carla or such preparations and hence am not commenting on their quantity. Continue breast milk up to 1 year of age. No other milk needs to be given but is optional. Curd or yogurt is good and may be given.
