Dear sir/madam In the beginning, I must give Lybrate doctors a lot of thanks for giving medical advices earlier. I have a 5.5 months old baby now. He weighs 6.5 kgs .my wife can't feed him breast milk sufficiently. So my son cries. Please suggest what to do? Can I use hairloss or cerelac? Or biscuits with milk? Or homemade fruit purees? Or rice dal ?here our local pediatricians do not suggest food habit broadly. Please give a complete food list for a 5.5 months baby.

You can start with complementary foods like dal mashed potatoes mashed bananas curd kheer suji halva. U need to give 3 to 5 times wheat/ rice / cereals in any form like churi mashed rice kheer parantha stuffed and mashed halva atta or suji etc and 2 times snacks which may include fruits and vegetables mashed. Extra you can give water in drinking no juices with preservatives. Cerelac you can use but home made food best.
