Question

Can an 8-month-old baby eat paste-like substances?

Answer

Yes, there’s no need to worry. At this age, babies can consume these paste-like substances. However, be sure that the baby can digest them; if a baby doesn’t digest them well after eating, don’t give them anymore. The calcium content in shrimp meat is very rich, and it’s great for the baby’s body. It’s best to give the baby fresh food as much as possible, and vary the weaning food to carefully observe the baby’s growth and development. Normally, fish soup, chicken soup, meat, and fish and shrimp are all foods that the baby can eat. During a cold, the food should be light.
