Patient's question:
The baby is almost five months old. How should it be fed? How to add complementary foods?Doctor's answer:
At 5 months, babies can start adding the following complementary foods. The types of complementary foods include:Semi-liquid starchy foods: such as rice porridge or egg and milk paste, which can promote the secretion of digestive enzymes in babies and help develop their chewing and swallowing abilities.
Egg yolk: Egg yolk is high in iron and can supplement iron, preventing iron deficiency anemia in babies.
Pay attention to hygiene. Complementary foods for babies should be prepared fresh and eaten immediately. If this is not possible, the food should be reheated.
Complementary feeding utensils should be disinfected frequently to prevent viruses from entering the baby's body and causing illness.
Wishing your baby healthy growth!
