Question
The five-month-old baby has been crying and showing poor appetite lately. How much food should be consumed daily to maintain a balanced diet?
Answer
To ensure the nutritional needs of a five-month-old baby, it is recommended to consume a moderate amount of easily digestible and absorbable foods, and to supplement vitamins and trace elements. Compared to drinking milk directly, formula milk is a more suitable choice for the baby’s growth and development, as it fortifies certain nutrients according to the nutritional needs of different age groups.
