Patient's question:
Onset time: Test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: The child is one year old now, and I want to wean him, but I don't know whether to give him cow's milk or formula? What kind of assistance is needed: Please ask the doctor to make a few guesses.Doctor's answer:
Guidance: In the fourth month, we have started gradually introducing foods such as rice porridge, egg custard, thin rice noodles, fish, and meat balls. In general, the principle is to proceed step by step, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, moving from thin to thick, and introducing a variety of different foods. Start with simple foods and gradually move to more complex ones. There is no fixed pattern. Avoid picky eating as much as possible without causing digestive issues. However, at the beginning, it is best to offer complementary foods during meal times. At other times, you can change diapers appropriately. If there is nausea or vomiting, pause the introduction of new foods. Once symptoms improve, resume gradually and fully restore the diet. The purpose of introducing complementary foods is to prepare for weaning, as breastfeeding cannot last forever. Weaning is inevitable. As time passes, the quality of breast milk also improves.
