Patient's question:
The baby is almost eight months old, but the milk (which was weaned three or four months ago) is still only eating 120ML, and eating very slowly, as if playing. It takes one or two hours in the daytime to finish a meal (but it eats porridge and egg dishes quickly). What should I do? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello. This situation indicates that the baby enjoys complementary foods. It is necessary to add various nutritional supplements for the baby. For example, eggs, tofu, animal blood, liver paste, rice porridge, rice powder and rice soup, fruits and vegetable purees. Pay attention to dietary diversity and balanced nutrition. Is the child's growth and development normal? Are their height and weight meeting the standards? Has there been any change in the stool characteristics? If the child is growing normally, don't worry. Slow eating may be a habit issue. If there is a delay in growth and development, it is necessary to visit the pediatric health care room in the hospital for consultation.
