Answer
It is recommended to start supplementing cod liver oil when the baby is three months old. After the baby is four months old, you can begin to introduce complementary foods, starting with cereal foods such as rice porridge, followed by vegetables and fruits, animal foods, and legumes. The recommended order for introducing animal foods is: egg yolk, fish puree, whole egg, and minced meat. You can adequately supplement iron, zinc, and calcium, and ensure the baby gets plenty of sunlight. Additionally, the issue of supplementing calcium and vitamins for the baby cannot be approached blindly; it must be combined with the baby’s actual condition. Blind supplementation can only increase the baby’s physical stress.
