Patient's question:
Not drinking formula, no milk now, what to do? Past treatment and effectiveness: Didn't care what kind of help: I want to know what to doDoctor's answer:
Without providing complementary foods to suppress a child's taste buds, this can hinder the proper development of their taste perception, leading to picky eating habits later on. Additionally, at this stage, breast milk may not be sufficient for the child's needs, and the nutrition provided may not be comprehensive. If the child is not consuming formula, complementary foods can be introduced.Recommendation: Complementary foods for babies are typically introduced between 4 to 6 months of age. Initially, it starts with egg yolk in small amounts (e.g., 1/4). If the child does not experience digestive issues or allergies after consumption, the quantity can be gradually increased. Once the child tolerates it well, you can introduce rice cereal and vegetable juice as well.
