What should a five-month-old baby eat as supplementary food?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his spirits aren't good either. Could you please tell me what complementary foods a five-month-old baby should eat?

Doctor's answer:

Babies aged 4 to 6 months can start trying to eat other foods as complementary foods. During this period, babies need to consume 750 to 900 milliliters of milk per day. At this time, breast milk or formula cannot fully meet the baby's basic energy and nutrient needs, so babies also need to add some extra food to supplement energy and nutrients. This is the definition of complementary foods. Sufficient and comprehensive nutrition can promote the healthy growth of babies.
