What should be paid attention to in the diet of a four-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

Baby is four and a half months old, it's time to start complementary foods. But the mother's milk supply is very good, should she still add it? Bought nutritional rice powder, can it be mixed with breast milk to eat?

Doctor's answer:

First adjust the diet, then consider medication. If the fever exceeds 38.5℃ or the condition does not improve, seek help from a pediatrician.
- Dietary adjustment: If the child experiences symptoms like decreased appetite and cough, which are signs of indigestion, but without external infection symptoms, dietary adjustment can be adopted. At this time, the three meals a day should be slightly "insufficient," choosing light vegetables, easily digestible rice porridge, noodle soup, noodles, etc. Avoid fried and puffed foods, eat less or even avoid meat, and can appropriately consume some fish and shrimp. Additionally, children should drink more water, ensure sufficient sleep, excrete timely, and avoid public places. Gradually, the indigestion will be relieved.
