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 fed 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 their babies. However, some children vomit when eating egg yolks. This is similar to why some children vomit when drinking formula milk. This is likely because the child lacks the enzymes to digest egg yolks, so the yolks cannot be stored in the stomach. In this case, parents should stop giving their children egg yolks.Many parents think that egg yolks are the best complementary food for their children. But this is a wrong idea. Besides egg yolks, there are many other suitable complementary foods for children, such as fruits, vegetable juices, and millet porridge. These are all good options for children. Parents can also beat the whole egg and steam it into a custard to feed their children. Some children vomit less when eating egg yolks this way.
