Question

How long should a 1.5-year-old baby be cooked shrimp for?

Answer

It’s best to boil shrimp for about 20 minutes after the water starts boiling. When introducing new foods to a baby, it’s important to choose appropriate foods based on the baby’s age. Typically, babies between 4 to 6 months can have porridge, egg yolks, and fruit purees, or add chopped vegetables and a little cooking oil to thin noodle soup. From 7 to 12 months, babies can eat soft noodles, custard, tofu, rice balls, a variety of chopped vegetables, fish meat, and minced lean meat. Start with grains and gradually transition to vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry eggs, and soy products. You can also choose some infant nutrition supplements to complement the diet."
