Patient's question:
Provided rice cakes, [not very fond of] I lent him some Wangzai small cakes [very fond of] I lent him some orange juice. Is this good? What kind of assistance do you care about: In addition to these, what else should be added? Thank you...Doctor's answer:
The two types of food you provided are both suitable.Guidance: Offering complementary foods at four months is primarily to help the baby regain a taste for food, prevent future picky eating and meat deficiency, and also to exercise chewing and swallowing skills to promote dental development. Currently, you can provide foods such as rice porridge, egg yolk, vegetable juice (puree), fruit juice (puree), and soft rice porridge. However, it’s best to start with rice porridge first, giving 1-2 spoons each time, and let the baby adapt for 3-5 days while carefully observing their digestion and bowel movements. If everything is normal, you can gradually increase the amount or introduce new foods like egg yolk, starting with 1/4 of an egg. For any new foods the baby hasn’t tried before, it’s important to start with a very small amount and let them adapt for 3-5 days. If digestion and bowel movements remain normal, you can then increase the amount or introduce another new food. However, after starting complementary foods, the daily milk intake should still be maintained at 800-1000ml.
