Question
Parents are inquiring about their one-year-old child who always vomits after drinking milk and are worried that the child is afraid to drink milk anymore, hoping to understand how to encourage the child to continue drinking milk.
Answer
Doctors suggest that one-year-old children can be weaned off breast milk and do not need to be forced to drink milk; they can simply be provided with complementary foods. Post-weaning dietary recommendations include five meals a day, consisting of soft rice, congee, and other staple foods, paired with minced meat, chopped vegetables, and egg custard as side dishes. Emphasis is placed on balanced nutrition and the combination of coarse and fine grains. At the same time, milk remains a necessary food item in the daily diet after weaning due to its easy digestibility and rich nutrition. It is advised not to give the child irritating food.
