Question
My child is five months old and has recently been only drinking water and not milk. Sometimes, they cry and fuss non-stop. We took them to the hospital for a check-up, but no issues were found. Is this dietary situation normal?
Answer
A five-month-old baby can already begin to introduce complementary foods such as rice porridge and egg yolks. You can start with small amounts and gradually increase the portion. If the baby experiences digestive discomfort, further examination and treatment may be necessary. Parents should pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid picky eating or selective eating in the baby, and maintain good hygiene habits.
