Patient's question:
Patient age: -5 three and a half months old. Can I grind soaked rice into a paste and give it to the baby to drink? Can I add a little sugar or a little salt? A little diarrhea, can I temporarily completely replace breast milk with rice paste? Had rotavirus infection, discharged 11 days ago, and has had a little diarrhea recently. Hope to get an answer targeted at the condition.Doctor's answer:
For three-month-old babies, milk is the most suitable food. If you want to introduce complementary foods, you must start with cooked rice porridge. Moreover, the baby has recently experienced nausea and vomiting, so it is still not recommended to add complementary foods. If the baby continues to experience nausea and vomiting even when breastfed, it is best to first seek proper treatment and then consider switching to a formula that does not cause nausea and vomiting for the baby to drink.The above advice is for the question, "Can a three-month-old baby be given a paste made from soaked rice to drink?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
