Patient's question:
Adding complementary foods first starts from one to many, from thin to thick, so what can a 4-month-old child eat?Doctor's answer:
Four-month-old babies can start adding complementary foods. The addition of complementary foods should follow a sequence: starting with one type, gradually introducing a variety, moving from thin to thick, and from fine to coarse. For four-month-old babies, who can transition from thin to thick, we can first introduce foods like rice porridge, fruit puree, and vegetable puree. We can also add mashed egg yolks, starting with 1/4 of an egg, crushed and mixed into soup or thin porridge, then stirred and fed. After the baby is four and a half months old, we can also start giving them well-cooked, rice-grain-free thin porridge, and if necessary, according to the baby's needs, small amounts of finely minced pork can also be added.
