Baby is almost five months old, how to feed

Patient's question:

Baby is almost five months old, how to feed, how to add complementary foods

Doctor's answer:

A 5-month-old baby can start adding the following complementary foods. The types of complementary foods include:
Semi-liquid starchy foods: such as rice porridge or egg and milk paste, which can promote the secretion of the baby's digestive enzymes and exercise their chewing and swallowing abilities.
Egg yolk: Egg yolk is high in iron and can supplement iron, preventing the baby from developing iron deficiency anemia.
Pay attention to hygiene. Complementary foods for the baby should be prepared fresh and eaten immediately. If this is not possible, the food should be reheated.
Complementary feeding utensils should be disinfected frequently to prevent viruses from entering the baby's body and causing illness.
Wishing the baby healthy growth!
