Patient's question:
My child is 7 months old and only likes rice porridge, not milk. However, she has always been breastfed and does not drink milk, which means she is not getting enough nutrients. Could you please ask the experts how to get my child to eat other foods while still drinking milk?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation, I would like to share my personal considerations. Maybe the baby will think the taste of milk is not pleasant. Milk can be replaced with goat milk or powdered milk, or added to cooked rice porridge, or used to make congee as well.Based on the current situation, I suggest the following points for your reference, hoping they will be helpful to you:
1. You can use other milk powder, goat milk, etc., as substitutes, or make rice porridge with milk to feed the baby. In fact, rice porridge is a very good food for nourishing the stomach qi. Additionally, you can digest vegetable and fruit juice to enhance vitamin absorption.
2. You can vary the types of food you feed the baby every day, such as soy milk, rice porridge, vegetable and fruit juice, and juice from various grains, to ensure the baby gets the necessary nutrients during their growth and development.
The above suggestions are for the question "What should a 7-month-old baby eat to improve their appetite?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
