Patient's question:
When the baby was 4 months old, complementary foods were already started to be provided. Now at 7 months, complementary foods have never included meat. I would like to ask if it is possible to provide lamb now? The kind of assistance needed: obtaining opinions from various expertsDoctor's answer:
At 3 months, complementary foods were already started, and now at 7 months, no meat products have been provided during the feeding. I would like to ask if it's possible to introduce lamb now?Advice: Avoid lamb for now. On a daily basis, it's important to include easily digestible foods rich in iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Additionally, since the child's weight is increasing, more food should be provided. You can feed the baby soft rice porridge, soft noodles, scrambled eggs, or various vegetable purees and tofu.
Soft rice porridge and soft noodles should be given 2 times a day, with 1 tablespoon each time. Scrambled eggs can be given 1 per serving. Vegetable purees (such as spinach, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes) should be given 1–2 times a day, starting with 1 tablespoon each time, gradually increasing to 2 times a day with several tablespoons each time. Tofu can be given 1/4 block per day.
