How much complementary food can a five-month-old baby eat in a day?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his spirits aren't good either. Could you please tell me how much supplementary food a five-month-old baby can eat in a day?

Doctor's answer:

As the baby grows, breastfeeding must transition to mixed feeding, and various complementary foods must be added, but it must follow certain principles: from less to more, from thin to thick, from fine to coarse, and from one type to multiple types. Generally, infants aged 1-3 months can be given cod liver oil and various vegetables, juice water; while those aged 4-6 months can be introduced to egg yolk, fish paste, vegetable paste, rice porridge, and other soft foods.
