Question
Can a baby of about 50 days eat rice pulp?
Answer
Babies under 6 months old should be fed exclusively breast milk to achieve optimal growth, development, and health. If conditions permit, breastfeeding can continue for at least 12 months or longer. Introducing complementary foods too early or too late can affect the baby’s development. Babies under 4 months old have not yet developed a digestive system capable of handling complex food structures. If complementary foods are introduced too early, it can lead to baby’s digestive discomfort, causing bloating and diarrhea, placing a significant burden on the undeveloped kidneys and potentially leaving hidden risks. Shortened feeding times due to reduced stimulation can also decrease milk production, leading to malnutrition in severe cases.
