Question
Can a four-month-old baby eat cod fish skin dried, the natural kind that’s not salty, and drink it in soup?
Answer
A four-month-old baby’s digestive function and growth have not yet matured, making it difficult for them to absorb meat products. It is recommended to start introducing solid foods after six months of age. Although cooked cod fish skin dried may be easier to absorb, it contains many seasonings and additives, so it’s best not to feed it to children. If the child has already consumed a small amount, since the quantity is minimal, it is unlikely to cause significant health issues. When introducing complementary foods at four months old, focus on egg custard, rice porridge, and vegetable purees. At six months old, fruit purees and meat purees can be introduced.
