What causes redness around the mouth while feeding cerelac for the 4 month old?
Patient: My baby is 4 month n 1 weak old . I started giving her nestle cerelac wheat n milk stage 1frm yesterday. And i noticed that the area around her mouth which come in contact with cerelac while feeding is becoming red. And is disappearing after some time. So shud i continue feeding or stop for a while? Doctor: Hi...by what you quote this looks like a food allergy to some ingredient in the cerelac you are using. I suggest you stop giving it. Rather than artificial preparations like this I suggest you give only exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age. That's what even the World Health Organization (WHO), recommends. So give only exclusive breast feeding till 6 months age and then we can decide further.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
