Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Constipation, having a bowel movement every other day, slow height growth at only 86cm, does not like eating vegetables.Past Treatment and Effects: Always been like this, has been breastfed for 1 year without drinking formula, will it affect development? Does not eat vegetables, what should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, weaning refers to stopping breastfeeding, but formula and dairy products should still be continued. After weaning, solid foods should be the main diet, and dairy products can be added if the baby is not getting enough nutrition from solid foods to support their growth and development. Solid foods should be introduced flexibly based on the baby's age. If the baby is under 10 months old, weaning is not suitable, and formula should be the main diet after weaning. For babies over 10 months, solid foods should be the main diet. At 7 months, the baby should be able to eat a lot of solid foods, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, etc. You can introduce formula and gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding to prepare for weaning in the future.
