Question
Can I introduce solid foods when my baby has a cold?
Answer
During the baby’s cold, you can offer light and easy-to-digest foods such as egg yolks, rice porridge, fruit juice, and vegetable soup. It is recommended to adopt a small and frequent feeding method to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion. In terms of daily care, it is important to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest during the cold, maintain fresh and moist indoor air, and encourage the child to drink more water. In terms of diet, you can provide light foods like thin millet congee and chicken soup, avoiding overly greasy foods.
