A formula containing fruit, wheat, and grains should be okay... so is mango. You can give toys for the baby to play with. Try giving slices of fruit as a toy substitute. The baby should start with the weaning process right now anyway.
Put the baby in well-ventilated cage so he/she can start spreading and flapping its wings for exercise. Put perches in the cage at varying heights so he can practice climbing to them.
Put the cage in a room away from the cat. I still don't trust cats around birds unsupervised. Cats are among birds' natural predators.
