Question
How should one arrange the sequence and method for adding complementary foods for a child to address their recent discomfort and lack of appetite?
Answer
Generally, children can start trying complementary foods around 4 to 6 months old. Follow the principle of starting with less, then more, from fine to coarse, and one type at a time to adapt. Begin with rice porridge, starting with just a few spoonfuls and gradually increasing the amount as they adapt. Once the child is accustomed to the rice porridge, you can start introducing pureed fruits and vegetables. Parents should adopt correct methods to help children treat their illnesses, as this can affect their growth and development. After a child falls ill, parents should assist in quickly healing their condition.
