Patient's question:
5 days my son is now 6 and a half months old. Since he started solid food at 6 months, our supplementary food has been twice a day. Here is the specific schedule---Around 8 a.m., he eats milk. Around 10 a.m., he eats 1 yolk + half a bowl of porridge + a little bit of vegetable puree (or fruit puree or meat puree). Around 12 p.m., he eats milk. Around 2 p.m., he eats milk. Around 4 p.m., he eats milk. Around 6 p.m., he eats half a bowl of noodles (with vegetable puree) + a little bit of (or meat soup, chicken soup, etc.). Around 8 p.m., he eats milk. Around 10 p.m., he eats milk, then takes a nap. He doesn’t come out at night, but he eats a lot of fruit puree, juice, vegetable water, or warm water during the day. The baby has grown 2 teeth. Sometimes after eating supplementary food, he still needs 90–120 ML of milk. The baby’s total daily milk intake averages 800–1000 ML, with feedings every 2–3 hours. He has a bowel movement once a day. Currently, he weighs about 21 pounds and is 72 cm tall.
Doctor's answer:
Overall, the situation should be normal, but the provided food was a bit premature.??Suggestion: From July to September, offer soft foods such as porridge, mashed noodles with vegetables, egg yolk, fish puree, tofu, minced meat, liver puree, and fruits; From October to December, offer mashed foods such as soft rice, mashed noodles with minced meat, chopped vegetables, scrambled eggs, fish, bean products, and fruits;??The general principle is to gradually increase the number of milk meals and reduce the number of supplementary food meals. When introducing new supplementary foods, offer them one at a time to closely monitor for any allergic reactions. For non-allergic foods, you can serve a variety of different options in one meal. The best time to wean is generally around 15 months of age.
