Question
How should a 9-month-old baby’s nutrition be combined?
Answer
Babies between six and seven months are in the optimal period for introducing complementary foods, a crucial time for training their chewing and swallowing abilities. Remember to start with small amounts and gradually increase to the normal quantity, transitioning from thin to thick textures. Each time you introduce a new food, observe your baby’s digestion, doing so for three to seven days. This is the perfect time to introduce rice porridge, rice gruel, or rice puree, as well as egg yolks, starting with a quarter amount and gradually increasing. You can also introduce vegetable puree, liver puree, tofu puree, and allow your baby to consume milk products in moderation. Be mindful of using minimal seasoning and ensure your child drinks plenty of warm water.
