Question
Pediatrics What are the benefits of babies eating egg yolks?
Answer
If babies do not adequately introduce complementary foods, it often leads to deficiencies in calcium, zinc, and anemia. Generally, starting from four months of age, in addition to breast milk or formula, babies should gradually be fed vegetables puree, apple puree, banana puree, and other foods. By around four and a half months old, the iron and calcium stored in their bodies are mostly depleted. Breast milk or formula alone no longer meets the needs for growth and development. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce some foods rich in iron, calcium, and vitamins.
