Answer
About 30 milliliters, as the baby’s digestive system is not yet fully developed. It’s generally best not to feed too much at one time to avoid digestion problems. You can try giving the babyJianpi San granules and some water, and gradually the situation will improve. When introducing complementary foods, make sure they are age-appropriate. For babies around 4 to 6 months old, you can add porridge, egg yolk, fruit puree, or thin noodle soup with chopped vegetables and a little oil. For babies between 7 to 12 months old, you can add soft noodles, egg custard, tofu, rice balls, various chopped vegetables, fish meat, minced lean meat, etc. Start with grains and transition to vegetables, fruits, fish and poultry eggs, and legume products. You can also choose some infant nutrition complementary food products for supplementation.
