Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what your baby had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, it's better to give starting formula for level 1 for another month in such case and then switch to level 2.
Also, weaning can be started and if ragi porridge isn't tolerated, coeliac serology may be needed but other options like rice, banana, cerelac etc may be given.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
