Question
Can a four-month-old baby start drinking rice porridge mixed with glucose and milk powder(a little milk powder) now? The baby has a bean disease and I want to know how to wean properly?
Answer
At four months old, the baby can start receiving solid foods, which include rice porridge and egg yolk. It’s important to ensure a well-rounded nutrition intake, without missing out on protein. Rice porridge is fine, but it’s best to consume glucose powder separately. Rice porridge can be mixed with milk powder, but it shouldn’t be too thick or else the baby may suffer from constipation.
