Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can I feed her pears and rice porridge together?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 7 to 9 months, babies can gradually transition from semi-solid foods to chewable soft solid foods (such as congee with noodles, minced vegetable congee, etc.). From 1 to 12 months of age, most babies can gradually shift to a main diet of solid foods as supplementary food. It is best to eat egg yolks, as consuming egg whites before the age of one can easily cause allergic reactions. Egg yolks are excellent sources of calcium and zinc and should be eaten every day. In my household, we cook the eggs, remove the whites, and then mix the cooked yolks with vegetable soup to create a paste for feeding.
