Patient's question:
The main food for a 25-day-old baby is formula milk. Should fish liver oil or similar things be added, such as Qinghuo (a type of herbal supplement)?The child is crying more than before, doesn't sleep deeply, wakes up with any slight movement, and likes to stretch and kick.
First follow-up question: Is it normal for the child to cry more than before, not sleep deeply, wake up with any slight movement, and like to stretch and kick? If fish liver oil or similar supplements are needed, what is good to use, and why?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: If milk supply is sufficient, you can avoid supplementary foods for 25 days, and breast milk can be consumed for 2 months. By 4-6 months, you need to add complementary foods, such as: vegetable puree, fruit puree, iron-fortified formula milk, and regular formula milk.From 7-9 months, you can introduce finely textured foods like: porridge, minced meat, vegetable puree, eggs, fish puree, tofu, formula rice, and fruit puree.
From 10-12 months, you can eat soft rice, minced meat, chopped vegetables, eggs, fish, soy products, and fruits.
At the same time, getting more sunlight is beneficial for calcium absorption, and it is not advisable to consume too much MSG, as it is not good for calcium absorption.
