Hi,
The recommended quantity of Cerelac for a 7-month-old baby is usually around 2-3 tablespoons per feed, twice a day. You can start by giving your baby small amounts and gradually increasing the quantity as your baby gets used to it.
It is important to note that Cerelac should not replace breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition for your baby. Breast milk or formula should be given first, followed by a small amount of Cerelac as a supplement.
Regarding the timing, you can offer Cerelac during breakfast and lunch or dinner, depending on your baby's feeding schedule. It is important to give your baby enough time to digest the food before the next feeding.
If your baby is showing signs of discomfort or vomiting after feeding Cerelac, it may be a sign of an allergy or intolerance to the ingredients. In such cases, it is best to consult your pediatrician for advice.
Overall, it is important to introduce solid foods to your baby gradually, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing the quantity and frequency. Additionally, always consult with your pediatrician before making any significant changes to your baby's diet.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
