Tried to begin weaning 6 month old baby on Cerelac stage 1; 30ml water+1 tablespoon Cerelac; fed 2-3 teaspoons; followed by his usual 120 ml milk feed; baby vomitted out everything after 1-2 hours, and has been belching ever since, even though his stomach is now completely empty
It is not unusual for a child not to tolerate new foods at the beginning. Use one scoopful (using the supplied scoop) in 30 ml water. If the child does not tolerate, try giving a diluting form. Child Chat Doctor. I am not worried about the child belching. It should go away if you give food slowly. Hold the child erect for about 20 mins after feeds and things should be fine. If the belching does not go, you may give some antiemetic like ondansetron syrup and that should take care of the problem.
