Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. May a one-month-old baby drink porridge?Doctor's answer:
Too early, for such a small baby, breast milk or formula is enough. If the baby is breastfed, it is perfectly fine to wait until they are six months old to introduce solid foods. Adding solid foods too early only puts a burden on the baby's digestive system.A one-month-old baby can drink rice soup, preferably millet soup. Don’t eat the millet itself, as it is indigestible. Use less millet, cook it for a longer time, and just drink the soup on top. It is both nutritious and filling.
