Question
A four-month-old baby has been frequently crying and showing a lack of appetite recently. The inquiry is whether it’s appropriate to start giving carrots as complementary food.
Answer
Starting from four months, babies can begin to introduce a variety of foods, including carrots. Carrots are rich in nutrients and help promote a balanced diet for the baby and prevent the development of picky eating habits. It is recommended that parents diversify the types of food they prepare for the baby to meet the needs of growth and development. At the same time, if the baby has any special health needs or allergies, it is advisable to consult with a pediatrician or nutritionist for professional advice.
