Question
As the child grows, mother’s milk will no longer meet all their nutritional needs. How should one provide appropriate solid food?
Answer
As children grow, mother’s milk alone will not suffice for all their nutritional requirements. At four months old, it is advisable to start introducing solid foods, such as egg yolks, fruit juices, and vegetable juices. Crumble the cooked egg yolk and mix it with milk, gradually increasing the portion size. Egg yolks aid in the child’s iron digestion and help prevent iron deficiency anemia. After introducing solid foods, the child’s hunger will gradually increase, and they may no longer need or may only need a small amount of milk at night.
