Parents are very concerned about the growth of their four and a half month old babies and will do everything possible to supplement their nutrition. Many people say that porridge is very suitable for babies to eat, so parents also want their four and a half month old babies to drink porridge. So, can a four and a half month old baby drink porridge?
A four and a half month old baby can drink porridge. Four month old babies can drink some soft Congee, or nutritious soups such as rice soup. Usually, they can add Rice noodles or egg yolk soft food between meals. When the baby starts to eat rice porridge, try to thin it, not too thick, because the child's gastrointestinal function is not perfect.
Four month old babies can also add some Rice noodles, and gradually can add egg yolk. When adding complementary food, we must pay attention to one principle, specifically in terms of feeding, we should follow the natural development law of the child. If a child does not cry, sleeps well, urinates and defecates normally, and does not vomit after eating a certain type of food, it indicates that the child is tolerant of this type of food. Generally, it takes about 3-5 days to continue adding another type.
Complementary foods should not be added too much, as adding too much can cause gastrointestinal disorders, digestive dysfunction, and so on. Food should go from thin to thick, from coarse to fine, from liquid to semi liquid, and gradually transition to specific solid foods. This is the principle.
