Can a seven-month-old baby eat porridge?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can a seven-month-old baby eat porridge?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby has already started teething after seven months. Basically, they can eat anything that is not too rough or hard. You can give them rice porridge, meat paste, fruit puree, and stewed soup. It's important not to be too monotonous; they can eat all of these. However, don't insist on the amount—just let them eat a little bit at a time to avoid picky eating in the future. Also, make sure not to add complementary foods after the baby has had milk. It's essential to let them eat complementary foods first when they are hungry, and then drink milk.
