Question
For a 3-month-old baby who has just been weaned, eating three meals of formula milk per day with about half a bowl of rice each time, is this amount of rice normal? What has been the past treatment and its effectiveness?
Answer
The baby’s current condition is normal and does not require special treatment. When considering the amount of rice and formula milk intake for the baby, it is recommended to start with an approximate daily rice intake of 40-50 grams, while also paying attention to vegetable intake. When introducing new foods, start with small amounts and gradually increase the rice quantity and variety of foods. During the process of increasing the rice intake, pay attention to observing the baby’s bowel movements to ensure normal digestion and absorption. If there are no issues, you can gradually increase the amount of rice.
