Five-month-old babies are recommended to be fed exclusively with breast milk or formula milk. If breastmilk is insufficient, apple puree can be added in small amounts, and it is recommended to add 1~2 spoons each time.
Normally, the addition of complementary foods for infants starts at 6 months of age. For 5-month-olds, if breastmilk can ensure their daily nutrition and energy supply, it is recommended that complementary foods not be added for the time being. If breastmilk is insufficient, supplemental food can be added. At the beginning, 1~2 spoons (1 spoon is about 10ml) once a day, with a single food as the main food.
In the process of feeding, you need to pay attention to observe the baby’s desire to eat, if there is obvious resistance to action, it is not recommended to force-feeding. In the early stage of feeding puree, it can be heated appropriately, and it is forbidden to add honey, sugar and other flavorings.
After adding complementary foods, if symptoms such as diarrhea occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner.
