Question
What vegetable or fruit juices can a two-month-old baby drink?
Answer
Breast milk is the best start for infants. According to nutrition experts, breast milk should be the sole food for infants during the first four to six months after birth. During this period, infants do not need any other food as breast milk already meets all their nutritional needs. Introducing complementary foods too early may trigger allergic reactions because infants’ digestive systems are not fully developed to handle food other than breast milk. When infants start to consume other foods, their frequency of breastfeeding may decrease, which can lead to a reduction in breast milk production. Therefore, it is recommended to feed infants only breast milk in the first few months after birth to ensure they receive optimal nutrition.
