Question
Should a 5-month-old reduce milk intake when eating rice noodles?
Answer
At the beginning of introducing rice noodles, there is no need to immediately reduce milk intake. Rice noodles can be served as a snack between meals. Once the child can consider rice noodles as a main meal, you can then appropriately reduce the milk intake. The baby’s teeth may have grown even before the gums appear, so there is no need to worry about teething issues.
