Patient's question:
Born 61 days ago, exclusively breastfed daily, want to give the child vegetable water, but don't know what vegetables to eat, how to cook them, and whether salt can be added while cooking. What kind of assistance is needed: reply onlineDoctor's answer:
The correct way to introduce complementary foods is to start in the morning. The doctor said that even if there are any discomforts after eating, the doctor can still be visited in the afternoon. For the first 6 months, providing one meal of complementary food in the morning each day is sufficient. After 6 months, you can add another meal of porridge or rice cereal around 6 PM (approximately 6:30 PM, which is usually dinner time), followed by a large bottle of milk around 10 PM. This way, the baby will be well-fed and can sleep soundly through the night. The porridge should be considered a main meal, and after feeding it in the evening, you should change the diaper 3 to 4 hours later. The first time, you can mix it with a little water to make it thinner and put it in a bottle for the baby to suck. Gradually thicken it, and after two weeks, you must switch to using a spoon instead of the bottle.
