ideally it should be double the birth weight at this age. but u need not to worry if it's bit lower as that is fine. start with giving mashed fruits, fruits and vegetables purees.. but u hv to start with small amount & then u can gradually increase the quantity as per Ur baby's demand.

yes u can give cerelac but the one which is meant for 6+ months. try the rice flavour one if u r targeting on weight gain also I prefer rice is coz 6+ months babies r not given wheat at the very initial stage. many babies, I know, doesn't like cerelac, including my boy ! hence, if Ur baby likes then it's good & if doesn't then try for few days & even then he doesn't eat then leave it, don't force.
