Question
When introducing complementary foods, we should follow the principle of moving from simple to diverse, and from thin to thick. So, what types of foods are suitable for a four-month-old baby to consume?
Answer
A four-month-old baby can start trying complementary foods. The introduction of complementary foods should be gradual, moving from thin to thick and from fine to coarse. Initially, you can give the baby rice porridge, fruit puree, and vegetable puree; at the same time, you can also try giving egg yolk, starting with 1/4 of an egg. After crushing it, mix it into soup or thin porridge and feed it to the baby. By four and a half months, you can begin to provide cooked rice porridge without rice grains. If necessary, and if the baby shows a need, you can add finely minced pork meat.
