Is it necessary to provide complementary foods for a baby who is not digesting well at 4 and a half months old?

Patient's question:

The baby has had digestive issues since he was a child. Now that the baby is 4 months old, we haven't given him anything else to eat......... No, can he add complementary foods......

Doctor's answer:

A 4-month-old baby can start receiving complementary foods. You can buy some rice porridge and gradually introduce it to your baby. However, complementary foods are just supplementary, not a main meal. The main meal should still be milk, otherwise the baby may not get enough nutrition. This is the advice for the question "Should a 4-month-old baby with poor digestion start on complementary foods?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
