Question
I’m breastfeeding my baby, and the milk supply is abundant; the baby can’t finish it all. Do I need to provide any solid foods? If so, which ones can the baby eat? How should they be prepared? Please provide a detailed explanation, thank you very much.
Answer
Yes, you can introduce solid foods. Commonly provided foods include: egg yolk paste; banana puree; apple puree; jujube puree; carrot puree; potato puree; tofu paste; liver paste; fish meat puree; fresh shrimp meat puree; chicken liver paste, and so on. These foods provide digestion energy, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, B, C, and fiber. Since a baby’s digestive system is not fully developed and their adaptability to new foods is weak, they are more prone to digestive and absorption disorders. Therefore, when introducing new foods, it is necessary to follow the principle of gradual introduction and not rush the process.
