Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Is the baby's daily diet correct like this? The baby sleeps continuously for 10-11 hours at night, and only eats 4 bottles of formula milk throughout the day, with a little yolk, juice, or warm water in between. As follows:8:00 Formula milk 200ml
10:00 1/4 yolk
12:00 Formula milk 200ml
14:00 Fruit juice 20ml
16:00 Formula milk 200ml
18:00 Warm water 30ml
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The child's diet is not a problem.1) Gradually acclimate the infant. Start by getting the child accustomed to flavors like broth, juice, etc., to pique their interest. You can dilute adult soup by 2–3 times and cool it to body temperature before feeding it to the child before breastfeeding. Juice can be given directly with water or mixed with formula.
(2) Gradually increase the amount and variety of complementary foods for the infant. When introducing a new food, do so gradually, starting with small amounts and increasing gradually. Hasty introduction can lead to failure. At 4 months, introduce yellow egg, starting with 1/4. If appetite and digestion are normal after a week, increase to 1/2, and then gradually increase to a whole egg. At 6 months, the child can start eating whole eggs. Do not introduce two or more new foods at the same time. First introduce a new food that the child has never eaten before, wait until they are accustomed to it, and then introduce another new food.
