Question
The child has been crying and fussy lately, and doesn’t eat much. What kind of complementary foods should a seven-month-old baby eat?
Answer
Dairy products are the main food for infants, but as the baby grows and develops, it’s important to introduce complementary foods in a timely manner. Since an infant’s digestive system is delicate, introducing too much complementary food without considering the child’s age and actual needs, or feeding them normally when the baby is sick, can lead to indigestion and vomiting. Therefore, great care should be taken when introducing complementary foods; it should not be done arbitrarily.
