What can a five-month-old baby eat?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What can a five-month-old baby eat?

Doctor's answer:

Adding complementary foods should be appropriate for the baby's age.
1. The complementary foods added must be suitable for the baby's age. At 4–6 months, you can add mashed rice porridge, egg yolk, fruit puree, or thin noodle soup with a little shredded vegetables and cooking oil. At 7–12 months, you can add soft noodles, scrambled eggs, tofu, dumplings, various shredded vegetables, fish, and minced lean meat. Start with grains and gradually transition to vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, eggs, and soy products. You can also choose some series of infant and toddler nutritional complementary foods as a supplement.
