Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The added complementary foods must be suitable for your baby's age.Baby's complementary feeding schedule
Adding complementary foods too early may cause vomiting and diarrhea due to the baby's immature digestive function, leading to digestive disorders. Adding them too late may result in malnutrition and even refusal to eat non-milk liquid foods.
From one to many
Gradually increase the variety of foods according to your baby's nutritional needs and digestive ability. Start by giving your baby only one age-appropriate complementary food. After 3–4 days or a week, if the baby's digestion is good and bowel movements are normal, try another food. Never add multiple new foods in a short period. If the baby has an allergy to a certain food, it will be noticeable within those few days.
Providing nutrition in order is very important
From thin to thick
When starting complementary foods, babies do not yet have teeth, so only liquid foods can be given. Gradually introduce semi-liquid foods, and finally move on to solid foods.
From fine to coarse, and from small to large in quantity.
