What should be noted for a 6-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. What should a 6-month-old baby pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Since the baby starts teething at this stage, it's time to introduce dry, hard foods like biscuits and baked bread. The types of complementary foods that can be added include:
1. Supplementing protein: Start with easily digestible and absorbable foods like fish puree and tofu.
2. Continue increasing the quantity and variety of iron-rich foods: The amount of egg yolk can gradually increase from 1/2 to 1, and supplement with animal blood-based foods in moderation.
3. Expand the variety of starchy foods: You can add milk porridge and tubers such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yam.
