Till 6 months only breastfeeding. No other supplements should be given except prescribed by doctor like vitamin D. No juice up to 1 year.
Your milk production may be affected and chances of getting pregnant are more if not breastfed.
Breast milk gives full nutrition to the baby and chances of food allergies are less.
After 6 months you may start home made solid food like khichri in addition to breastfeeding. Cerelac is very costly and I do not recommend it.
Next Steps
breastfeeding should be done at least 2 years or more
