Question
How should the consistency of the congee be controlled when a 7-month-old infant is eating it?
Answer
When preparing thin congee for a 7-month-old infant, it is recommended to dilute it slightly, as this aligns with the feeding habits of infants beginning to introduce complementary foods, which is to gradually increase the thickness from thin to thick. At this stage, you can add egg yolk as a nutritional supplement to the congee, which is an appropriate method for introducing complementary foods.
