Question
My baby is now over four months old. What complementary foods should I introduce for them? I’ve heard that black chicken egg is more nutritious, but I’m not sure if it’s suitable for this stage and whether there might be any adverse reactions after consumption?
Answer
A four-month-old baby should start with rice cereal as their first complementary food. Rice cereal is easy to digest and absorb, rich in nutrients, and comes in various flavors, making it more likely to be enjoyed by the baby. After successfully introducing rice cereal, one can gradually introduce vegetable broth, meat broth, and then transition to purees like vegetable puree, meat puree, and fish puree. The yolk can be mashed up and mixed with the rice cereal for the baby to eat.
