Questions
Is it correct to introduce solid foods for a four-month-old baby? I’ve provided rice porridge, but the baby doesn’t seem to like it much. I’ve also added Wanda Little Buns, which the baby loves very much. I’ve also prepared orange juice, is this okay? What kind of help do I need: Besides these, what else should be introduced? Thank you……
Answers
The two types of food you’ve provided are both acceptable. It’s recommended that introducing solid foods at four months is simply to allow the baby to get accustomed to the taste of food, prevent future picky eating and calcium deficiency, and also to train chewing and swallowing abilities, promoting tooth growth. Currently, you can offer rice porridge, egg yolks, vegetable juices (pastes), fruit juices (pastes), and thin porridge. Start by introducing rice porridge first, with 1-2 spoons each time, allowing the baby to adapt for 3-5 days, closely observing their absorption and defecation. If everything is normal, you can then increase the portion or introduce new foods, such as egg yolks, starting with 1/4 of a yolk. For any new food the baby hasn’t tried before, start with a small amount and allow them to adapt for 3-5 days. If absorption and defecation are normal, then increase the portion or introduce new foods. After introducing solid foods, the daily milk intake should still be maintained at 800-1000 milliliters.
