Question
How many vitamins should a six-month-old infant consume daily? What are the requirements for each vitamin? I can’t find this information online. Also, is it okay to mix the purchased rice cereal with formula milk?
Answer
The amount of vitamins and trace elements needed by infants daily varies due to individual differences and developmental stages, and it is difficult to calculate precisely. Current medical research has not yet been able to provide an exact formula for calculating the daily required amounts of various nutrients. Therefore, it is recommended to meet the nutritional needs of infants through a balanced diet, including fish, eggs, milk, fruits, and vegetables, without the need for precise calculations of each nutrient intake. As for the rice cereal, choose a baby-specific product and select according to your child’s preferences; there is no need to excessively pursue high prices or special formulas.
