Patient's question:
Mao Mao is 5 months old. Rice porridge was added with 1/8 of an egg to make a slurry, and it was given at 9 a.m. An hour later, breast milk was given. By noon, he vomited everything. His face also turned pale, and he wasn't in good spirits. At 2 p.m., after eating milk, he vomited everything again.Doctor's answer:
Many moms introduce egg yolks as complementary foods for babies, but some children vomit when eating them. This is similar to why some children vomit when drinking formula milk—it's likely that their bodies lack the enzymes to digest egg yolks, so they can't digest them properly in their stomachs. In this case, parents should stop giving their children egg yolks.Many parents think egg yolks are the best complementary food for babies, but this is a mistaken idea. Besides egg yolks, there are many other suitable foods for babies, such as fruits, vegetable juices, and millet porridge, which are all good options. Parents can also beat the whole egg and steam it into a custard to feed their children. Some babies vomit less when eating egg yolks this way.
