What should be paid attention to when the baby is six months old

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should be noted when the baby is six months old?

Doctor's answer:

Do more exercise with the baby, practicing sitting and standing. Recite some children's songs, rhythmic and catchy poems, and tell him the names of the items arranged at home and those hung on the walls. Talk to him more. Play some small games, such as hide-and-seek, and so on. Pay attention to adding complementary foods on time, as this is a step in transitioning to regular meals. However, do not neglect milk intake. Most mothers have already gone back to work, or breastfeeding may no longer be sufficient. Infant formula is recommended as the best alternative.
Babies grow very quickly during this period, so it is important to supplement their calcium intake to prevent conditions like rib flaring and pigeon chest caused by calcium deficiency.
