Question
My child has been crying and not eating much lately. Can a 6-month-old baby eat congee?
Answer
Hello, a 6-month-old baby can enjoy various types of congee. For instance, you can mix filtered egg yolk, starch, and a moderate amount of water, then slowly cook over a low heat while stirring continuously until the congee becomes thick. Next, add milk and continue to stir until well blended. Once cooled, add honey. This milk congee is an excellent choice for the child. To help the child move more, thereby increasing their appetite, it is recommended to let them engage in appropriate physical activities promptly. This will gradually improve the child’s condition. Additionally, a balanced intake of nutrition, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement various vitamins and trace elements, also helps stabilize the child’s mood and promote an early recovery.
