Question
The baby is 5.5 months old and experiences vomiting and diarrhea after introducing solid foods like egg yolk and rice porridge. What was the past treatment situation and effectiveness? What kind of help are you hoping to receive? What can be eaten for dietary adjustment?
Answer
At around 4 months old, babies can start to try introducing a small amount of pure rice porridge, thin gruel, and egg yolk as complementary foods, provided the child does not have symptoms of indigestion. If the child can digest these foods, then at 5 months old, they can be given a small amount of egg custard. Once the child’s condition improves, at 6 months old, they can be given some diluted juice, with a ratio of about 1:4 or 1:5. For your situation, the egg yolk should be diluted and the amount gradually increased. After the child recovers, the amount of egg yolk can be increased gradually.
