Question
How can a baby who is almost seven months old be provided with complementary foods intended for a six-month-old?
Answer
Thank you for your inquiry. Starting from around five and a half to six months, you can begin offering your child fish soup, meat puree, and fish puree. By the time the baby reaches eight months, whole eggs can be introduced; at nine months, soft rice, broken noodles, tofu, cookies, and bread are suitable options. At eleven months, you can try small dumplings and rice balls. During the process of introducing complementary foods, if the baby experiences gastrointestinal discomfort, it is recommended to take probiotics to aid in digestion and absorption, maintain intestinal health, reduce vomiting and constipation, and lower the risk of food allergies.
