Patient's question:
The baby is now five months old. Besides formula milk, what other foods should I add for her?Doctor's answer:
It should primarily consist of mud-like foods (such as: vegetable puree, fruit puree, egg yolk, etc.), following the principle of: starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, and moving from single to multiple varieties. Once the baby has adapted to one food, add another. At the same time, pay attention to iron supplementation (because the iron "stored" in the baby's body by the mother during pregnancy is only enough for 4–6 months after birth). You can feed the child iron-fortified rice cereal. Wishing both the mother and the baby good health!
