Question
Can a four-month-old baby eat rice porridge as a bedtime snack?
Answer
Rice porridge should be added as a snack during the morning and afternoon. Before bedtime, the baby needs to consume enough milk to promote healthy growth and development. Since four-month-old babies have a higher demand for milk, it’s recommended to let the baby drink more milk. If you’re worried about not getting enough milk, you can give formula milk during the bedtime feeding, as it is more filling and helps in the baby’s growth and development during the night.
