Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my baby is already 6 months old. Can I start giving him some fruit now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Yes! 1) Gradually accustom the infant to new flavors. At the beginning, start by getting the child accustomed to the taste of soups, juices, etc., to pique their interest. You can dilute adult soup 2-3 times and cool it to a temperature similar to body temperature before feeding it to the child before breastfeeding. Juice can be fed directly with water added, or it can be mixed with (powdered milk) to drink. (2) Gradually increase the amount and variety of complementary foods for the infant. When introducing a new complementary food, do so gradually, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing it. Rushing the process can easily lead to failure. At 4 months of age, introduce scrambled egg yolk, starting with 1/4. After a week, if the child's appetite and digestion are normal, increase it to 1/2, and gradually increase it to a whole yolk thereafter.
