Patient's question:
There is an improvement compared to before, more sleep during the day, and weight gain has stopped recently. The reason might be due to weaning. What kind of assistance is needed: It is expected that the child can eat formula milk and other easily digestible foods...Doctor's answer:
If the mother has no symptoms that prevent nursing, it is recommended not to wean. Breast milk is the most nutritious. If it is absolutely necessary, there should be at least 6 months. Generally, weaning is done between 8 months and 1 year. It is best to wean after the Spring Festival, especially not during the child's illness. It is suggested to start providing vegetable and fruit juices from the third month, gradually. From the fourth month, start introducing rice porridge, egg yolk, thin rice, noodles, etc. In summary, follow the principle of gradual progression: start with small amounts, then increase; start with thin liquids, then thicken; introduce one type at a time, then gradually introduce more; start with simple foods, then move to complex ones. There is no fixed pattern. If there is nausea or vomiting, pause the introduction. Or increase the amount. Once the condition improves, gradually resume the previous routine.
