Question
What should a 7-month-old baby eat, and how much?
Answer
At 7 months old, the baby is beginning to sprout milk teeth, which is the time to promptly introduce solid foods like cookies, bread slices, and small pieces of bun to promote the growth of milk teeth and train the chewing function. The daily intake of milk should be controlled within 800 milliliters, and you can start adding congee, noodles, vegetable puree, whole eggs, liver, poultry meat, and tofu. This period is crucial for training the baby’s chewing and eating skills. It’s important to gradually transition from milk-based diets to grain-based foods and appropriately increase the frequency of non-dairy product intake.
