How to eat baby rice powder?

Patient's question:

Gender: Female
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Hello, I have a 5-month-old baby who is currently eating rice powder. May I ask if I can give her some corn powder now? Also, regarding complementary foods, such as rice powder, does it only provide nutrition for one meal? I am currently feeding her formula at 7:30, rice powder at 11:30, formula again at 3:30, and then at 7:30 and 11:30—essentially five meals a day. Is this schedule okay?

Doctor's answer:

Prepare warm water. Since most (rice flour) is fortified with probiotics, vitamins, and other nutrients, do not use boiling water to mix the for your baby, as this can easily cause nutrient loss.
Prepare a bowl or cup with measurements. Mix the according to the recommended ratio to ensure it is neither too thin nor too thick for your baby to eat.
When mixing the, pour the while stirring to ensure it is well combined and does not clump together.
When feeding the to your baby, use a spoon to scoop it from the top layer down, as the cools quickly in winter due to the warm water.
