My daughter is getting into cerelac food in a week from now. Doctor advised to go with Cerelac wheat. Whereas for my friend's daughter, the same doctor advised cerelac rice. Please let me know if this is something to do with her weight? ... more
Is your girl ok with wheat based baby food. If so, may be just continue. A small proportion of babies are intolerant to wheat. Personally I usually advice to start with either rice or ragi based baby food as the first one. Only because if the initial experience is with something that may not agree with a baby, weaning on to solids can become a bit troublesome. So with your baby: continue if she is ok or switch to rice or start rice in addition to. I hope she is over 5 and half or 6 months of age now?
