Why hasn't the baby eaten as much as before at 5 months?

Patient's question:

Not particularly white but a bit whiter than the surrounding skin, could it be vitiligo?

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Hello, the ideal time to introduce solid foods for babies is between 4-6 months, as breast milk alone can no longer meet the nutritional needs for their growth and development at this stage. Delaying the introduction of solid foods can lead to malnutrition-related diseases.
Advice: If your baby has poor appetite, you may use Zinc and Selenium Oral Supplement under the guidance of a local pediatrician or pharmacist. It is recommended to gradually increase the variety of complementary foods, such as rice porridge, thin rice, soft noodles, fish puree, cooked liver paste, lean meat paste, fruit puree, and vegetable puree. It is essential to follow the principle of starting with small amounts, introducing one food at a time, and gradually increasing the texture from fine to coarse. Improvement should be noticeable soon. I hope this helps you.
