The baby is 5 months old, and their hand development has undergone significant changes. They can pick up very small things, and of course, after picking up these things, the baby likes to put them in their mouth. So when taking care of a baby, it is important to be aware that putting small items in the mouth can be very dangerous. So, what complementary foods can be added to babies at 5 months old?
Baobao is only 5 months old, and it is not recommended to add complementary foods at this time. Generally speaking, babies need to grow to six months old before they can be given complementary foods. After all, the digestive system of a five month old baby is still very delicate. At this time, the baby mainly eats breast milk, and some may also eat formula milk. It is not recommended to add complementary foods.
From the time of adding complementary foods, they should be added when the baby is six months old. At the beginning, the baby can only eat some liquid or muddy foods. For example, baby Rice noodles, which is available, can be directly bought back for baby to eat. Of course, it is necessary to make some adjustments before eating, so that it can be given to the baby.
After the baby gets used to Rice noodles, slowly give the baby some vegetable paste or fruit paste, which is also OK. It is particularly important to note that babies may be allergic to egg yolks, and this is especially important to be aware of. At the beginning, only a small amount of egg yolk can be given to the baby to observe their specific reaction before adding more.
