What complementary foods can a six-month-old infant eat?
Disease description:
My baby is currently six months old, and I have no prior experience caring for children. I would like to ask what types of complementary foods are generally most suitable for babies of this age?

Since a six-month-old baby's swallowing function is not yet fully developed, and the functions of the throat, esophagus, and digestive tract are relatively delicate, complementary foods should be mild and easily digestible, such as steamed egg custard, vegetable and fruit puree, and rice cereal.
1. Steamed egg custard: A common home-cooked dish made from eggs, which contain abundant proteins, fats, minerals, and trace elements. Its smooth and tender texture makes it suitable for six-month-old babies.
2. Vegetable and fruit puree: Fresh vegetables such as carrots, spinach, and potatoes can be steamed or boiled and then blended or mashed in a blender. They can be mixed with fresh fruits such as bananas, apples, and dragon fruit to make vegetable and fruit puree for six-month-old babies. Since vegetable and fruit purees contain abundant dietary fiber, minerals, and other nutrients, appropriate consumption can help stimulate intestinal motility and improve appetite.
3. Rice cereal: A semi-solid substance made by grinding or boiling various grains such as rice, coarse grains, and tubers into a paste. After consumption, it can be rapidly absorbed by the body and provide energy for physical development, making it suitable as a complementary food for six-month-old babies.
