Breastfeeding babies should start eating complementary foods from a few months

At 4-6 months, the baby's intestinal and gastric functions are enhanced, and solid foods can also be digested and absorbed. And the baby's immunity will gradually decrease at 4-6 months. Appropriate addition of complementary foods containing rich nutrients can allow the baby to obtain more nutrients and enhance immunity. However, if it is premature, due to the relatively slow development of gastrointestinal functions, it can delay the time to add complementary foods.

If you want to add complementary foods, you should add them according to the specific conditions of the baby. After adding complementary foods, you should observe the baby's performance more.
