Patient's question:
Doctor, a seven-month-old baby eats many times of complementary foods a day, drinks formula milk. Are the complementary foods eaten between two formula milk meals or at the same time as the formula milk? Currently, the baby has three to four formula milk feedings a day, with each feeding being 200ml. Is that too much?Doctor's answer:
My doctor is very happy to answer your questions. When did you start introducing solid food for your baby? If you started adding it at six months, you can now feed your baby one to two times a day. Since the introduction of solid food is short and the amount per meal is small, do not reduce the number of breastfeeding sessions or the amount too quickly. Of course, there is individual variation, but the main principle is to ensure that the baby's absorption function is normal and that they receive adequate nutrition during this period.
