Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The diet for a six-month-old infant mainly includes the following categories:
1. Fruit and vegetable purees: such as apple puree, pumpkin puree, and carrot puree. These foods are rich in vitamins and fiber, which help the baby's digestion and nutrient absorption.
2. Rice powder and porridge: Infant rice cereal is a common complementary food, which can be fed alone or mixed with other ingredients to make foods like pumpkin and millet porridge, providing carbohydrates for the baby.
3. Yolk puree: The yolk is a highly nutritious complementary food ingredient rich in vitamins and iron, playing an important role in the baby's brain development and immune system enhancement.
4. Meat purees: such as chicken liver puree and chicken puree, which contain abundant protein and iron, helping the baby's growth and development.
When introducing new foods, observe whether the baby has any allergic reactions. If necessary, seek medical advice promptly.
