Question
When a baby has very few teeth, mothers often give them hard-to-digest foods like chestnuts. Will this harm the baby’s gastrointestinal tract?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby has not yet fully grown their teeth and has been consuming hard and difficult-to-digest foods. This situation may affect the baby’s stomach. It is best to avoid giving your baby these foods, as not having fully grown teeth might indicate a calcium deficiency. You may consider calcium supplementation for your baby. The above suggestions are for the question “Will eating hard food when baby’s teeth are few affect the digestive system?” I hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby health!
