Question
The breastfed baby has been crying and not eating well recently. How should I introduce complementary foods?
Answer
Breastfed babies can start introducing complementary foods a bit later, but not later than 6 months, as this is the sensitive period for children to learn swallowing. Babies on mixed or formula feeding can start earlier, but they should be at least 4 months old. To ensure balanced nutrition, babies should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement various vitamins and trace elements, and pay attention to staying hydrated and resting.
