Patient's question:
My baby is 6 months old and can eat complementary foods instead of formula milk, right? 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 baby is one year old, but continue feeding them formula milk. The nutritional components of ordinary milk are insufficient. It is not advisable to stop breastfeeding and switch to drinking cow's milk. Before weaning the baby, make sure to teach them to drink formula milk first. Although the baby is already one year old, he still needs to drink milk to obtain nutrients. You can use a spoon and other foods to familiarize him with the taste, and then teach him to use a bottle and other foods.
