Question

What are some special things to be aware of for a 6-month-old baby?

Answer

When a baby reaches 6 months old, there are several things to pay attention to:

  1. Start introducing solid foods: At this stage, you can begin introducing easily digestible foods like fish puree and tofu, which are rich in protein.
  2. Increase iron intake: You can increase the amount of egg yolks consumed and moderately supplement with animal blood products.
  3. Expand the variety of starch foods: You can add more starch foods such as milk cakes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams. Moreover, since this is when babies start teething, you can start giving them harder foods like biscuits and toasted bread.
