Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can I help wean the baby?Doctor's answer:
When weaning a child, it is important to gradually reduce breastfeeding and let the infant try using a spoon to eat before weaning. The weaning process is about transitioning the baby from sucking liquids to getting used to solid foods. Over several weeks, try using a spoon to feed the baby some juice, vegetable soup, or other easily digestible foods, which can gradually achieve weaning while ensuring adequate intake of animal and plant proteins. Meats, fish, beans, and eggs are rich in high-quality proteins and can be used to make soups or fed to the baby in easily digestible forms such as minced meat, fish balls, tofu, or scrambled eggs.
