Question
Is it necessary for a seven-month-old baby to start introducing complementary foods?
Answer
Generally speaking, babies can begin introducing complementary foods around four to five months old. At this stage, they can try eating some chopped vegetables, minced meat, liver puree, fish, as well as vegetables and fruits. The introduction of complementary foods should not replace breast milk or formula milk to avoid affecting the child’s growth and development. If the baby has not introduced complementary foods yet, it is recommended to start providing an appropriate amount of complementary foods as soon as possible.
