Question
Can a six-month-old baby eat mixed cereals? For example, can walnuts, sesame seeds, soybeans, peanuts, etc., be ground into powder and mixed with rice porridge for consumption? Will eating soybeans cause the baby to have abdominal pain? Additionally, can consuming colostrum or products like French Synbiotics help boost the baby’s immunity?
Answer
For a six-month-old baby, breast milk or other dairy products should still be the main staple in their diet, with three to four diaper changes needed overnight. Mixed cereals can be offered, such as porridge made from corn flour or millet, which are rich in nutrients and beneficial for the baby’s healthy growth. At the same time, increasing the intake of meat and eggs is recommended, such as feeding the baby a whole egg or adding minced meat and meat floss. To ensure a balanced diet, daily meals should include the five major food groups: milk, grain, meat and egg bean products, vegetables and fruits, as well as oils.
