Babies over four months old can start to add complementary food. At this stage, the complementary food should be easy to digest and absorb. You can give your baby iron-fortified baby rice flour, red meat paste, fruit and vegetable paste, etc., and you can also add food such as egg yolk and chicken liver. When adding complementary food, only one complementary food should be added at a time, and another should be added after the baby adapts.

Easily digestible baby rice noodles

Mothers can choose iron-fortified baby rice flour as a complementary food for their babies. Rice flour is easy to digest and absorb, and it is not easy to be sensitized.

Red meat paste rich in iron

You can also give your baby red meat paste, which is rich in iron. You can choose lean pork, and its allergenicity is lower than that of beef and mutton.

Fruit and vegetable paste

Four-month-old babies can also eat some fruit and vegetable purees, including yam puree, pumpkin puree, potato puree, sweet potato puree, banana puree puree, Pingguo puree and so on.

Egg yolk, chicken liver and other foods.

Egg yolk, chicken liver, etc. can also be added to the complementary food. When making food, these foods also need to be made into mud, which is beneficial to the baby's absorption.

Matters needing attention in adding complementary food

The gastrointestinal function of the four-month-old baby has not been fully developed. Therefore, the principle of adding complementary food should be followed from fine to coarse, from less to more, and from sparse to directional, that is, the baby should be given muddy food at first, and the amount of added food should be less. When adding complementary food, it is recommended to add only one at a time, so as to observe whether the baby is allergic to food, and then slowly add more.
