Preterm babies can be started on complementary foods ( solid foods and other items in addition to breastfeed) between 6 to 8 months of uncorrected age. Rather than starting of cerelac which is processed food, you should include home cooked meals like Dal with added ghee Milk with banana Sujee kheer Mashed potato/ rice Seasonal fuits Continue breastfeeding as well
