Can a 7-month-old baby eat brown rice?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. May a 7-month-old baby eat brown rice?

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 chopped vegetables and cooking oil. At 7–12 months, you can add soft noodles, scrambled eggs, tofu, dumplings, various chopped vegetables, fish, and minced lean meat. Starting with grains, gradually transition to vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, eggs, and soy products. You can also choose some series of infant and toddler nutritional complementary food products as a supplement.
