Question
What should a 5.5-month-old baby eat?
Answer
A 5.5-month-old baby can start introducing complementary foods. The first recommended addition is egg yolk. Generally, full-term newborns have enough iron stored in their bodies to last for the first four to five months after birth. However, premature or twins may have less iron stored, so they may need to start introducing complementary foods after one month to ensure adequate iron intake.
