It is acceptable to give cerelac to babies but alongwith home food. You can keep it as a night meal. Do feed your children home food as it is true that cerelac causes constipation. Moreover it is artificial food. it is always the best to feed your children natural food that is fresh. :)

Soak 1/4 th cup Moong, Chana and arhar dal along with 1/2 cup of rice separately for half an hour. dry roast 6-7 almonds and cashew nut. Then roast all the above cereals. U can also add Dalia( broken wheat). After roasting all above grind them as fine powder. If u want u can add powdered sugar into this. Or else u can jaggery at the time serving. For preparing add two - three spoon of powder in a bowl boil with water for 5-7 minutes then when it turns into paste consistency add milk. Before serving u can add jaggery.
