Question

How should one start introducing complementary feeding?

Answer

When a baby reaches 7 months old, it’s time to begin experimenting with simple complementary foods, but the quantity should be controlled. For instance, you can feed the baby egg yolks, diluted with water or mixed with milk. Additionally, you can offer the baby nutritious porridge and other foods. If the baby is unwilling to defecate, don’t force it, and don’t introduce multiple different types of complementary foods at the same time. It’s important to consult a regular hospital for a systematic examination as soon as possible based on the baby’s specific condition, so that targeted treatment can be provided to promote the baby’s quick recovery.
