Question

How many baby foods can a 5-month-old baby eat in a day?

Answer

As babies grow, breastfeeding needs to transition to mixed feeding, thus requiring the addition of various complementary foods. At this stage, it is important to follow the principle of starting with small amounts, moving from thin to thick, from fine to coarse, and from one type to multiple types. For babies aged one to three months, fish liver oil and various vegetable juices or fruit juices can be added; for babies aged four to six months, egg yolks, fish puree, vegetable purees, rice gruel, and thin rice porridge can be introduced.
