Patient's question:
My baby is two and a half months old. She often brings her hands and toys to her mouth. Hello, is it possible she's not full? At two and a half months, what else can she be fed besides breast milk? The assistance I care about: What can a two and a half-month-old baby be fed besides breast milk...Doctor's answer:
Infants should still be based on milk, and supplementary foods should be provided daily while ensuring a milk intake of 700~800 milliliters. The gastrointestinal mucosal barrier of infants under 6 months is not yet fully developed. The protein molecules in egg white are small and can easily penetrate the intestinal wall mucosa into the bloodstream, leading to allergic reactions such as recurring eczema and hives. Do not provide supplementary foods before bedtime. When I first started introducing complementary foods, I followed others' advice to add a lot of rice powder to the milk before bed, saying it would make the baby fuller and sleep longer. But I noticed that the baby couldn't sleep for long periods and still woke up many times at night for diaper changes. You can also make specially prepared vegetable juice, which can be drunk as early as 2 months.
