At 4 months and 23 days, what complementary foods can the baby eat?

Patient's question:

What can a 4-month-old and 23-day-old baby eat as supplementary food? Can I give him apple puree? Medical history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you need: Please help me.

Doctor's answer:

When babies start solid food, vegetable and fruit juices can be gradually introduced from the third month. From the fourth month, you can start introducing rice porridge, egg custard, thin rice noodles, fish and meat balls, etc. In short, follow the principle of gradual progression: start with small amounts, then increase, start with thin textures, then thicken, and introduce one food at a time before moving on to multiple foods. As long as there is no digestive discomfort, try to prevent picky eating as much as possible. Initially, solid food should be served during meals, and milk can be given at other times as needed.
