Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. He was breastfed from birth, but now it's time to start introducing some solid foods. Since he's used to breastfeeding, he doesn't drink prepared formula. My mother suggested adding some rice cereal to the formula to make a smooth paste to try feeding him. There are many brands of rice cereal on the market. I'm not sure how to choose.What kind of help do I need: Which brand of rice cereal is good?
Doctor's answer:
The baby is five months old, and attention should be paid to a well-planned diet. You can add some complementary foods such as fresh vegetable juice and fruit puree, as well as some nutritious and light soups like pork rib soup and crucian carp soup. This helps the baby absorb better nutrition. If possible at home, try to buy the best food for the baby. Choose products from large-scale brand enterprises with high-quality products and services, and pay attention to the color and smell of the products. High-quality infant rice should be white rice, uniform in consistency, and have the aroma of infant rice. You can go online to search for the latest 2011 ranking of infant rice brands, where some recommended brands include Heinz, Beingmate, Nestle, Gerber, Yili, Feihe-Bedich. It depends on your preference for the brand.
