Question
The six-month-old baby has been crying frequently recently and doesn’t like to eat. How should we arrange their diet?
Answer
Six-month-old babies can start introducing complementary foods. It is recommended to begin with thin rice porridge, egg yolks, and fruit purees, or add shredded vegetables and oil to noodles. From seven to twelve months old, soft noodles, egg custard, tofu, rice dumplings, and a variety of shredded vegetables, minced fish, and lean meat can be added. The introduction of complementary foods should start with grains and gradually expand to vegetables and fruits, fish and poultry eggs, and dairy products, among others. You can also choose specialized nutritional complementary food products designed for infants as a supplement.
