Patient's question:
My baby is 6 months old now. Can they eat complementary foods instead of formula milk? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am happy to answer your question. Generally, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding after the age of one, but continue feeding formula milk. The nutritional components of ordinary milk are insufficient. It is not advisable to stop breastfeeding and switch to drinking milk. Hey, before weaning the baby, make sure to teach him to drink formula milk first. Although the baby is already one year old, he still needs to drink milk to get nutrients. You can use a spoon and other foods to let him get familiar with the taste, and then learn to use a bottle and other foods.
