Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. What kind of complementary food should a four-month-old baby eat?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to gradually add vegetable and fruit juices starting from the third month. From the fourth month, you can start adding porridge, mashed noodles, and other similar foods. In general, follow the principle of gradual progression: start with small amounts and gradually increase, move from thin to thick, and introduce one type at a time before moving on to more varieties. Start with simple foods and gradually introduce more complex ones. There is no fixed pattern. If diarrhea occurs, pause or reduce the addition of new foods. Once symptoms improve, gradually reintroduce foods in a step-by-step manner.
